With the forecasters saying things like, "it would be safer to work with road side bombs in Iraq than ski anything steep", we decided to ski the more mellow, safe portions of the Wasatch. After Christmas things started to settle a little, so Todd and I went for a tour up Cardiff Fork. After crossing four good-sized avalanches that had run probably right after the Christmas storm, we decided to turn around and head for safer terrain at the head of the canyon.
