Quick report

Went to Cardiac Ridge and then the Room of Doom in upper Mineral Fork. The N facing slopes that enter into Cardiff Fork were wind scoured in the top and wind affected lower down. E facing Cardiac Ridge seemed to have the less wind affect than any other slopes in the area. The Room of Doom NNW facing had a bit more of a wind skin but still manageable. No cracking , collapsing or much sluffing noted. Did see one natural shallow soft slab that looked like it ran yesterday during the earlier part of the day when the wind was still blowing, it was located on the E facing cliffs in Cardiac Bowl.

Wind completely scouring LSB down to the old sun crust.

Snowpack

There was about 4 to 6 inches of new snow from Fridays storm, fairly dense and somewhat wind affected in the areas traveled.
