Comments
Widespread natural shallow sluffing and soft slab releases. None ran far or packed a punch. All running within the new snow. Most soft slabs 2-4" deep. Lots of cracking and moving snow. Even was naturalled upon by a 3 inch by 30' wide soft slab while ascending back up to Cardiff Pass from the north.
