Comments

Skinning up lookers left of the ski area boundary well below tree line later in the day. Lots of little remotes in the storm snow some as far as 100m away as I headed up with the pooch. During the day I'd say 30cms at the bottom, 40 cms at top of T. Strong westerly winds and some transport noticed at around 5pm at the top of the T.
