Comments

Toured to lightening strike cabin mid day Sunday it was raining. Strong SW winds. Rained to the top of Baldy peak. Wet spring like conditions, pinwheeling observed in steep terrain. Around ~60cm base on Sunday. Monday morning, lots of rain overnight at the cabin. Visibly less snow everywhere and a thin crust on surface decided to ski down the road and save our knees. Still stoked on a couple early turns though!
