Party of one--Broke up-track from top of Cardiff to Superior. Snow deep, some sun and wind crust but still good and ski-able. Observed a natural off the side of the summit looked like it ran about 300 ft. or so. On the up-track snow seemed Okay with a few noted sloughing incidents. Looked that one of the resorts or UDOT had fired a shell into the hill, saw black powder burns in the snow but did not see any release from their shot. Skied this area and seemed stable. Aside of the one slide did not experience any other instability in the snow pack.
For the most part snow pack seemed stable but still some persistent weak layers on this mountain, just the right trigger will likely pull it out.
