Check out the massive wind drift in Cardiff. Winds cross loading sub ridges and terrain features. Pretty rare to see all the south facing terrain untracked in upper LCC.
Control results from the shoulder.
Tracks from today - people started slow this morning and generally stuck to very conservative terrain. I saw two natural avalanches that probably happened in the overnight hours. One in Jaws and the other in north facing upper Silver Fork. Both avalanches ran down to the flats and had significant debris piles. I would assume Jaws was a repeat.
Pit profile from UDOT on the south facing terrain. Pit location was just off the ridge in Emma one. They did get full propagation in the pit.
