Comments

Saw evidence of the same avalanche cycle that Bryan reported from Thursday, starting to fill in now though with the new storm snow. Had a look up into cardiac bowl from the top of runs 1,2,3, and one slide on the lookers left of the tree island halfway up idiot's uptrack (ne aspect) appears to have stepped down to a deeper layer (possibly the December crust?). The slide probably ran about 100-150m, and the step down probably occurred about 20m from the top.
