Made the early run for Cardiac Ridge this morning, not a dawn patrol but early for me, no head lamp required. Still getting some sluffing in the steeper terrain this morning on N through NE facing aspects but once again not very energetic and easily manageable. Did not one skier triggered slide in Mineral NE facing, looks to have pulled out under the rock band up high, possible graupel pooling related, also looks to have stepped down mid track maybe into last weeks layering but hard to tell I was a long way away. Photos.
Sluffs Key hole entry, Cardiac Ridge.
Avy in Mineral NE facing.
Put the skin trail in this manner to avoid overhead wet activity from the SE facing portion of Cardiac Ridge.
Safe and stable skiing.
Moderate hazard today and tomorrow for wet activity with the heating of the sun.
