Today travel was from Alta into Cardiff Fork with entry into Mineral Fork from Cardiac Ridge into the Room of Doom. The snow on Cardiac Ridge started to heat up around noon with damp snow on the SE facing and the E following close behind. When things started to go south on the Ridge it was time to move to the due N facing in the Room of Doom at the head of Mineral Fork. The new snow was starting to sluff quite a bit on Cardiac Ridge mid day, but not the same for N facing Mineral which continued to stay dry with minimal sluffing even in the steepest terrain. The E facing on the other hand had both dry long running natural sluffs and also wet activity by the time of our exit. Of note on our exit was a large rock slide on the lower portion of the road coming out of Mineral Fork which seemed to have happened during the heating of the day. It covered the lower portion of the road with large boulders and mud, we were walking by then because the snow runs out before the first switch back in Mineral Fork.
