Cardiff11/12/2021 Went to the top of Mount Superior today and skied Cardiac Bowl, and also Little Superior Buttress (LSB). The new snow from the last couple days was dense and supportable today with about ankle deep ski penetration. There was a bit of a rime crust on top from yesterday but it didn’t really affect the skiing. The upper slopes in Cardiff Fork are really filled in for this time of year. I was able to ski the bowl off the top and the snowpack is solid for now. Dug a pit at 10,800ft N facing in Cardiac Bowl, it was about 3 feet deep, damp at the bottom, right side up with no layering. No instabilities we’re noted today except for some wet activity on the S facing exit. Once again we are looking pretty good right now but if the snow sits around for an extended period of time it’s bound to start faceting on the surface and will work it’s way down through the pack. Hopefully we can keep getting a bit of snow for the next few weeks.
