Lightning Strike

<p>Not as warm as forecasted but not too chilly. Lightning Strike summited 11:50am, thermometer reading -2. Descended the west face to Twin Lakes, then regained the ridge, then skiied out the northeast slopes to the parking area. Descending to twin lakes was horribly crusty for the first 100m or so. Wind has completely stripped any new snow from earlier this week. Snow softened up the remainder of the descent quite nicely. Ski out on the northeast side was also very nice. </p>
