 Paraffin gets the first ride up after 2 hours of digging
|
 The 'Grand Canyon' at pylon 4. Reportedly 'challenging' on a board.
|
 Digging getting further up the hill
|
 View to Helvellyn. Summit area of Raise was scoured ice but there were powder stashes to be found.
|  Queue at LDSC! 5 mins or so at the busiest times.
(Note loading from the downhill side, the normal loading area was under several metres of snow)
|
 The dig started at the bottom and worked up the hill. Deep trenches required to give headroom under the wire.

:: Weather Conditions
Broken overcast with sunny patches, wind strong in morning but dropped by the time skiing got going.
Below freezing all day.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Full snow cover - about 5m burying the tow and the engine hut. 2 hours of sterling work by members with many shovels dug trenches for the up track and the returning hangers. Definitely earned the turns today!
Snow conditions variable - boilerplate where scoured, powder where dumped. Many people lapped Sun Down after the short walk up to Raise summit.
About 450m (1500ft) vertical available today: Raise summit down to Keppel Cove, about 5 mins from car park.
