3/26/213/26/2021 Travel today was up Tanners slide path, then up canyon to Alta and over into Cardiff Fork. The weather was ping pong ball conditions most of the day, with light winds, light snowfall, and a few short sucker holes with sun.
We went up Tanners first because it’s a couloir with high walls that allowed us to see the falline in foggy conditions, there was 4 to 6 inches of medium density snow mixed with graupel on a fairly smooth and not quite frozen bed surface. Lots of spindrifts coming off the walls on the way up. After skiing that we went up canyon and dropped into Cardiff Fork, skiing the NW facing under Holy Moley. The skiing there was exceptional with no bottom being felt due to soft snow underlying the new snow. Only activity noted today was sluffing in steeper terrain. Skiing out the S facing back to Alta was more like dust on crust but still skiable.
