Comments
Only avalanche activity noted today was the slide in Holy Toledo which I put on the avalanche list. Wanted to see what happened in upper Cardiff Fork during last weeks slide cycle and was impressed with the viewing, LSB, Cardiac Bowl, Hansens, Cardiac Ridge and the Ivory Rock Slabs all had avalanche activity in them. The slide in the Ivory Rock slabs was quite impressive with a 5ft crown and it ran on facets at the ground. These slides are all repeaters except LSB and the one in the Ivory Rock slabs.
Photos: LSB, Cardiac Ridge, Ivory Rock slabs, and Hansens, also one of wind transport on the Superior ridge line.
Kinda hard not to stick with considerable after watching Holy Toledo rip out, or I guess you could call it a scary moderate.
