Skiing Cardiac Ridge my partner skied skiers right of where the avalanche happened with no issues, I skied the shot to skiers right that was a bit steeper and more north facing. Pretty big sluff rode behind me but did not catch up to me as I opened up my turns a bit more till I was out from under it. About 7 people skied the ridge after us and had no issues.
Also saw a small sluff turn into a pretty ripping wetsluff down west hellgate. It was caused by a ski cut on the far west facing aspect near Two Trees. This was a much more serious avalanche than the one on Cardiac. Ski conditions on the high elevation south facing were not good. 4 inches of wet snow on hardpack and even a grey icy layer in places.
