This avalanche on Cardiac Ridge most likely occurred during the high PI rates on Wednesday, this is the fourth time I've seen this part of the slope avalanche this year, this time it seemed like a new snow only soft slab that ran 3/4 track, there was also evidence of other avalanching on the same slope in different areas.
