Cornice Collapses on Donner Summit

Numerous recent cornice collapses in the Donner Summit area, with many large, overhanging cornices still remaining.  These are a few days old at this point, but serve as warning to give cornices wide berth.

Beyond the hazard of cornices themselves falling, there are significant cornice cracks between the edge of the cornice and the ridge that could make for an unpleasant surprise if one was to accidentally fallen into.  

Also of note: there is a large 8-10' mid-slope cornice off the top of Mt Judah, skiers right of the Money Run, which is difficult to see from above.  There are many abnormal features from our record snow year, so scope your lines before you charge!
