We observed a large avalanche in Cardiff fork that crossed the road below the East couloir of Kessler. Debris was stacked on the road and into the creek below. The more southern part of the avalanche path (more towards the catchers mitt) didn't run.
Because part of the path didn't run, we chose not to cross this area (heading up Cardiff) and we bailed. Sorry we couldn't see much from the edge of the slide path so, I don't have a ton of details about the slide.
