Decent powder conditions on the S side of the glacier, progressing to wind affected snow on the N side with numerous “whumphs” and shooting cracks. 1st person traveling up the slope to the hut triggered a medium size avalanche on a S/SW facing slope that did not run very far. 5′ prior we remote triggered a cornice fall which caused a small avalanche.
