Location Name or Route
Cardiff
Travel today was up flag into Days then Cardiff. South and most variations of it had a crust and some signs of wet activity from yesterday. Fairly calm winds up to 10k. Some small, dry snow, point releases and wet rollerballs were the only activity I saw today. Some near surface facets showing up in normal spots around drainage bottoms.(pic on 3mm grid) The only new avalanche I saw was the one Mark White posted on High Ivory.(pic bleow) Looked to me like a windslab due to depth. Seams like a relatively strong snowpack out there in Cardiff. Around 200 cm of snow on the ground in upper Cardiff.
