temps dropped fast. started snowing hard top of the ridge line. Took a few more runs in heavy snow wearing a hiking vest and shades. Top of snake creek to the parking lot the precipitation changed from snow to a rainy mix. As i was putting on dry winter gear the thunder started rumbling over and over. Thundersnow!. Brighton kept the lifts spinning but i got out of there . I dont mess with lightning. driving down canyon just below Brighton it was a pure rain storm . Solitude appeared to be completely shut down . Thats Spring skiing
