Saw this windslab avalanche on the little knob in Upper Cardiff below Holy Mole chute. We did not trigger it, just saw the skier tracks, crown, and debris pile. Definitely an avalanche that is in line with recent weather and the current hazards. It did slide down onto an ascending skin track in the bottom of the terrain trap. sorry for the crappy photo.
