Had a great day skiing mod slopes at treeline and alpine in the Lizard Range. Ski quality was good on blower powder. Cross loaded wind slabs were observed in gully features on west - northwest aspects and wind slabs were loading on east facing leeward slopes throughout the day. No new signs of new avalanche activity though visibility was limited in the upper elevations. There were no signs of whoompfing or shoot cracks and we did not observe any signs of buried surface hoar that was reported at 1,600 - 2,000 m. .
