- <p>Skier triggered avalanche noted on Cardiac Ridge (photo below). The party will no doubt have more details. Only other activity noted was new snow size 1 dry loose snow sluffs. We did not experience any cracking or collapsing in our travels.</p>
Many steep lines skiied on all aspects but the large size 2.5 off the Cardiac Ridge was noteworthy. Looker's left and a few hundred feet below the uppermost crown was a natural (see color coding) from late Wednesday or early Thursday (had a few inches of new snow on debris).
Profile on easterly facing slope @ 10k yielded 75cm of settled storm snow above a mf crust. ECTX; CT29Q2 on thin facets beneath a 2cm thick mf crust.
Snowpack
5 star riding conditions. Early morning mid-level stratus deposited 1-2cm+ surface hoar along ridgelines. Solars became damp and will be crusted in the morning: just enough sun to dampen the snow but not enough for more than a few very minor wet sluffs in steep rocky terrain.
