| After being shut for over two years, Cardiff Fork in Big Cottonwood Canyon finally reopened to public access. So, with a foot of fresh snow Jim Kucera organized an adventurous snowshoe tour into the upper reaches of the canyon. It was a frigid start at only 2 degrees with a bit of a breeze. Once beyond the private mining claims the group took a free-roam tour through Cardiff in which two streams were crossed and much fluffy powder blasted through. We saw plenty of ski turns flowing down the backcountry slopes, but also a huge fresh avalanche on Cardiac Ridge - a reminder to respect the risk. Participants were Kurt Hiland, Hong Duong and Sally Aerts. |
