With the temperature hitting 25oC what should you do? Go skiing!
It was a hot walk up the cas path and we very grateful for the gentle breeze blowing.
The patches have all but gone from the front of the mountain. The only notable snow was the remnants of the M1 black run pile. Had some lunch, cakes and a catch up on the level 4 thinning gossip. It seems every take over follows the same body count, CEO, 2nd in command and in comes their own general manager.
We headed over to look at the ptarmigan park, didn't ski here but there is still a sizable patch. Two weeks ago there was a sizable patch in the ciste bowl worth a ski on but this has now gone, you have to head in to the gully proper to get the skiable snow. Once in the snow is good fast spring snow which is still wide and very worth the walk in.
The snow stops quite a way above the board walk but still a good length for some fun, we have to stop saying the board walk now as it has gone! met another winter highlander skinning up and tellemarking down.
Nice day out.
