Comments
Spent Sunday afternoon in the Flagstaff/Toledo/Cardiff area & observed sustained winds & loading taking place. Below Cardiff Bowl, in a SE facing rollover area that's usually off my radar as an avalanche zone, observed repeated cracking and a cohesive slab threatening to move. Would expect there are some zones where large slides can occur with little encouragement.
