November 17th, 202111/17/2021 Went into upper Cardiff to see if there were any soft turns to be had. There were a few but not a lot. With the big temperature drop the south facing stayed bulletproof all day, luckily there was a skiff of snow on top for some grip. The snow on the east facing on Cardiac Ridge also had a fairly stout sun crust with about an inch of new winded snow on top. Headed to the north facing bowl behind LSB called Kaleidoscope Bowl. It didn’t have the sun crust but it was a bit wind damaged. Next we moved on to LSB, NE facing. It was a little more consistent than the other aspects but still variable. The snow under the crust is starting to facet rapidly and will continue to unless we get more snow to insulate it. The high N facing is also starting to facet and break down.
