:: Weather Conditions
Cold morning with 90% broken cloud. Wind light, pleasant skiing weather. Afternoon cloud cover increasing as did wind causing slight drifting of loose snow but still a good day.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
A very different story to Saturday. The snow went through a thaw free cycle yesterday and the wind scoured the surface. The surface was hard in places but you could still find pockets of soft. This is not a bad thing as it is building a good stable base for future falls to build on. Where the surface had frozen and the machines had been over there were a multitude of death cookies to catch the unaware.
Where the cover was thin of Saturday the Sundays wind had scoured making more gravel and thin areas, you had to be careful on the lower slopes. Where the home road was the run of choice on Saturday it was best avoided today. Its usual gritty texture was back and the death cookies were not forgiving.

:: Weather Conditions
Bright and clear early, overcast through later day. Light but sharply cold wind with FL well below centre elevation. Car parking area had ice.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Only sunnyside running. Hardpack but grippy base with fresh snow and "cut" top surface - quite acceptable skiing conditions. The run is skiable top-to-bottom but bare spots are present and hazards are marked. Pretty standard early-season fare.
