Comments

There is enough weak old faceted snow above 9500' on north aspects in Cardiff Fork to potentially cause a weak layer after more new snow is deposited.

See this observation from DAYS FORK for more details on the early season snow cover.

This image is from Flagstaff Peak looking west toward Mt Superior.

Looking down Cardiff Fork, you can see that there is not enough snow at the current time to cause future avalanche concerns.
