Second hand information as I didn't see the slide happen, but believe 1 rider was caught and carried/ not buried in this small windslab. Just submitting photo for context, hope someone else who saw the avalanche will report details.
lots of windloading and wind effect this morning from N wind. we observed significant shooting cracks in hard windslabs along ridgeline near cardiff peak right after seeing this slide.
