Comments
Heat related slab avalanche on east facing ivory slabs in Cardiff Fork, looked to be at least D2 and the only slab avalanche we saw in this area. We also saw a lot of loose wet activity on solar aspects.
Thinking it might be a good time to go climb or bike till some colder weather comes in next week.
