Comments
Travel today was up to Cardiff Peak From LCC entering Cardiff Fork through the N facing Power Outage then a run on Hansen's and the main line off the top of Cardiac Ridge with an exit out to BCC. The wind was blasting most of the day but only produced shallow soft slabs with out much punch, the new snow was sliding on the recrystallized powder underneath not the slick rain/rime crust. Stomped on some wind slabs on a E facing test slope with only the new snow moving. Ended up booting to the top of Cardiac Ridge because it was too slick to skin but even up there in the wind zone the snow was well behaved.
photos: tests slope results and a video of activity on the top of Cardiac Ridge which was minimal
