:: Snow Conditions & Info
The Ptarmigan tow got going today so the deep snow to the east could be accessed but in the morning it was quite heavy to turn in. Fairway was pisted and good and the mini shred was again providing fun for some.
I headed up to the summit and then to the tor and explored below it. There is great cover, some wind packed, some lovely loose powder, and some areas where the surface was crusted. You could go anywhere. I did two rounds, both excellent.
At the end I came down the M1 which had amazing powder to below the cross over to the 105. Around the timing hut it was a case of dodge the hidden rocks. I heard that the White Lady was also fantastic to just below the elephant fence .
