Behemouth cornices

These cornices at the head of Sunlight Basin in Taylor Fork are bigger than big. The snow lip is a solid 30 feet away from the true ridge crest and could easily fool a rider or skier into getting too close to the edge. We are finding similar cornices in all our ranges. As the temperatures warm these overhangs will start to lose strength. Photo: GNFAC
