Comments

Pretty much exactly as advertised in Saturday's bulletin. Best riding to be had at and below tree line in sheltered zones. Wind hammered in the alpine, blown down to rock in windward aspects on Twin Cairns. Light snow all day with moderate westerlies, heavy snow came in around 3pm as we were pulling out - 3cm on the truck in 20 mins.
