skied from west lion into lions bay. Snow quality was wind effected powder, getting consistently more wet with loss of elevation. Cornices are large, snow pack is deep for April. Evidence of many slides on south aspects due to solar affect and point release from snow clumps off trees. Slides ran on the most resent layer of storm snow sitting on rain/sun crust.
