LSB, Cardiff11/5/2021 Been down south for the last week and wanted to get a look at how the snow was holding up on the high N. Went up over Cardiff Pass to Little Superior Buttress NE facing. The snow on the high N, NE is deteriorating rapidly from the cold clear nights the past few days. I found a thin crust which formed last Friday from green housing and damp snow, it’s capped off with a few inches of snow from Monday which has already faceted and i was also finding a layer of faceted snow below the crust on the shady N. There’s plenty of terrain that is not holding this set up, E, S, W are either crusted or dirt but when it does snow people will be drawn toward the N facing with old existing snow. If we don’t receive new snow i would expect the whole snow pack to rot out eventually. The price of admission was high with dirt walking involved on the entry and exit.
