Just gonna throw it out there…. It was *@$#ing amazing out there today. I was probably in the first 100 to get up there this morning. So many fresh tracks. It was glorious. Visibility was average till about midday but after that… It was golden.

As Box Head mentioned, Tuesday is meant to be a huge dump. I.e 55-80cm according to the mountain. A couple of places have said roughly 61.. If you’re any where in the area, I’d be getting here!

Whilst it’ll be great for the mid mountain cover I’m thinking it could slow down the opening of the alpine as it could cause a very unstable layer on top of the base that’s already there. The other issue is that freezing level of 1700m - that’ll be rain from mid mountain down which won’t be doing any favours for the lower sections.

Yeah, it’s going to be interesting. I’ll be keeping a very close eye on the situation. Seriously though, that’s crazy amounts of snow.

Thats the kind of snow we saw last season in March when the alpine was shut for 5 or so days - but more, just insane really.

Getting pretty excited now, last few days of work then it’ll be time to start packing

I haven’t started packing yet (much to Michelle’s dislike hehe).

A friend posted this on Facebook today.

Yeah I say that now but I know i won’t be packing until the day/night before I fly out, same as always really.

Thats a great shot there, one of the better ones I’ve seen - Going by the chair and the terrain it has me thinking that’s Harmony although I could be completely off.
