 Piesty Beasty on the zigzags, with the thaw freeze in the last 24 hours many death cookies have been created. Best to keep close to the fence.
|  The high wind of yesterday scoured some areas. This is the top of the M1.
|
 The traverse fence is catching the wind blown snow and the machines have been packing it down.
|  Looking over to the cas area, wide expanse of good skiing
|
 Looking up the cas, some area of wind blown slab.
|  This is to compare with Saturdays picture, the slight thaw and high wind have changed the level of snow at the fence leeward side. A mixture of soft and slab to make life interesting.
|
 The expanse over the boulder field. Fun skiing.

:: 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.
