Quick report
Travel today was up from the Alta Guard station, Little Superior NE facing, Cardiac Ridge, Ivory Flakes and out BCC. The main activity today was sluffing in steeper terrain but the sluffs where not as large and not running as fast today. I also noted a small soft slab on LSB NE that was probably triggered from the ridgeline by someone heading up to Superior in the morning, it had a crown but only ran 60ft or so. There was evidence of some soft slab activity yesterday on Cardiac Ridge as well, with the largest one coming out of the main line off the top, the sluffs were still running today but they seemed slow and easily avoidable. No cracking or collapsing was experienced today. If the sun comes out tomorrow and it warms up the new light density snow may become reactive on steep slopes with a melt freeze crust underlying it, mainly on S facing slopes.

Snowpack
There seemed to be about a foot of light density snow non wind effected. It didn't seem like the sun was out long enough to dampen the S facing and might still be good in the am.
