Lightning Strike Ridge

<p>Skied the N/NE aspects of Lightning ridge. Riding was ok, with no crust but heavy, wind affected snow. Stayed away from S aspects and from lee features to try and find stable, quality snow. Everything felt stable, with no evidence of the Feb 22nd surface hoar layer being reactive on BTL slopes.</p>
