Start zone appeared to be loaded and some cracking was noted near the top of Cardiff Pass. Entered the run cautiously with a ski cut and released the start zone pocket from the top, which propagated 1520 feet or so in both directions. 8 inches deep, a soft wind slab had formed on top of lighter density snow, and ran the length of the SE facing portion of the bowl. Did some more stomping and cutting on the bed surface with no results, so we skied down the slide path to lower angled terrain. No other activity noted in the hour plus that we were out.
