Comments
While touring up the other side of the bowl we witnessed a size 2 natural slide run the full length of the path into the scrub trees at the bottom of the slope.
It was warming all morning and at worst it rained to about 1700m by mid day, freezing levels started to drop again quickly around 2:30pm.
