Went for a walk just south of lightning strike area , got some decent turns on southern aspects where the crust was thicker and surface snow was moist. Breakable crust that varied quite a bit on other aspects. Didn't get the chance to ski any sheltered north facing lines. Saw a quite a few fallen trees from the recent wind
