Travel today was Holy Toledo, Cardiac Ridge, no cracking or collapsing mostly stable snow pack in the areas traveled. New snow instabilities from yesterday were a thing of the past, sluffing was minimal. Cardiac ridge had sluffs and soft slabs running naturally during the storm yesterday, new snow only. Pics, soft slab in the main shot on Cardiac ridge, storm snow instabilities from yesterday.
