Went on a small hike up to lake Clara. Experienced consistent cracking in the skin track and skiing down. Storm snow has settled considerably. And was being actively blown around. Snow depth was drastically different on different slopes near each other. Saw a small-medium sized naturally triggered slide near the cliffs at the top.
