Skiing 5" graupel bottom feeding. pleasant. Dryish snow @ trailhead

Wet slide debris chunder- not large. Couldn't see where it came from.
Lightning yesterday around 1 pm There is well over 2' of grapel in the avalanche impact zone below Kessler cliff band, the most I have ever seen. Probably an ideal spot for graupel pooling.
