We decided to head into cardiff with multiple ideas depending on snow stability on the W face. As we approached our snowpit location, we noted multiple small collapses isolated to the skier. Nothing cracked, or showed any larger symtpons. The W ridges only had a few poinbt releases.

Our test showed an ECT 11 on the snow at the new/old snow interface, not really a surprise with the heat the days before the storm. As we continued on our day we noted more collapses, again isolated. The ridges were showing more sensitvity on the NW side, and the SW had roller balls and a few small wet slides (1-3' across, 6", 10' down). Ski cuts provided no triggers. The only evidence shown of a larger problem was a slide that ran mid storm cycle, on the NNW side of the ride, cracking all the way down the ridge, but only sliding a few feet, seemed to be too shallow for anything else to happen. No signs of wind activity anywhere along these slopes. The day seemed to be tricky to analyze here, and had lots of discussions about what we were seeing.
