Very good skiing/riding conditions on the south side of the Crags/Sugarloaf. Very little wind effect up as high as 2200m, and we were able to ski all the way to valley bottom (1750m) in great snow. No major signs of instability but we didnt venture in too anything to open, shallow or rocky due to our snowpack observations. The new Lightning strike cabin was an excellent staging point for this great zone ☺
