Burnside return to day lodge, a mixture of soft snow and boiler plate ice to catch the unaware.

Jeans Bowl piste, soft fresh drifting snow with one machine width of hard, best to keep off the pisted area.

Top station, cold and blowy.

There is a pisted strip down the side of the ridge poma, it was hard and clattery to ski on. the snow to the side was much nicer, deep in places to catch your edges on.

The cas area was one big snow drift

The ground was moving much of the morning. This is taken from the fiacaill looking back to the zigzags

Looking over the the fiacaill side slop from the car park t-bar. The baest wind blown snow in this area

The cas was a challenge to ski as the ground was constantly moving in the wind. The snow was soft and dry but heavier than the powder in the last week or so.

The gun barrel is in there some where!

Cold, Blowy, not for small or timid people.

Looking from the ridge run to the car park area.

Two of the snow canons were running on the lower slopes. Not sure how much of the snow was sticking to the ground and how much was ending up over on the east lady!
