Comments
Walked up Cardiff Fork from BCC to have a look at what had occurred during the storm, saw a large natural avalanche off Cardiac Ridge which I put on the Avy page. Like I said still getting cracking and collapsing in the upper reaches of Cardiff Fork and the snow pack structure has not improve except where it has already avalanched. Skiing quality has gone down hill with Wednesdays wind and Thursday nights rime event. Not really worth the risk to ski rime crusted snow.
