Quiet Day in the Pass. Skintrack up Ripple Ridge to Lightening strike is great, easy to follow. Snow was about 15-20cm of dense powder on top of a crust layer in the trees down to Twin Lakes. Some slugging as I skied down through the trees. Still sharkey out there. The skin track out from Twin Lakes to the highway is challenging to say the least, creeks are still running. Overall, nice day in the snow.
