Comments

Widespread natural cycle overnight in Cardiff Fork. Thinking most slides ran during the high PI rates that occurred in the early part of the night. Most looked to be about 6 inches deep. Pretty much everything from Cardiac Ridge up to Cardiac Bowl slid, half of Cardiac Bowl, Little Superior, and Holy Toledo.

By early morning slabs seemed to have settled out, although steeper lines were sluffing easily. Seems like a little heating after I left slabbed things up again. Can't be too early in the spring.
