:: Weather Conditions
Strong south/south westerly winds gusting 30-40mph at the top. Minus 1.8 to minus 1C at 740m. Temperature dropped at end of day with heavy snow showers and blizzard conditions giving a new cover down to 300m. Poor visibility all day.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Superb deep cover of wind packed snow. Generally a very smooth surface with few hazards. The well packed soft snow skiied beautifully which made up for the poor visibility.

The fences are buried in places and todays strong winds and heavy showers noticibly filled the runs even further.

Both main runs are complete with deep cover. No rocks. Part of Eau noir is also complete behind the hut but the south westerly winds are favouring (today the appropriately named) Presidents run, particularly at the bottom where something of a cornice has formed above the engine hut !

Great prospects for tomorrow and hopefully into the weekend.
:: Riders
7 skiers, 1 boarder and t telemarker there today.
