Comments
Wind loading caused a natural release off the north east ridge of superior(cardiac bowl). Stepped into new snow, running about half way down the slope. Further down in cardiff near montreal hill, multiple sensative wind drifts broke on small, low angle role overs. Sorry about the photo, I cant seem to attach photos. Wind loaded terrain appears to represent considerable or high danger, triggers can be above or to the side. Failures on slopes less than 35 degrees
