Well after some friggin cold weather on Friday we finally got the snow we had hoped. After a couple of dumps during the week plus another 10cms overnight we had excellent skiing today. A early start but much needed during school holidays. We found snow in the trees on the road to Lake Mountain, 8km above Marysville. Looked like Jack Frost had been out with a icing sugar sifter!!! We arrived to find the temp -1, no wind, blue skies and 10cms of the driest snow I have ever seen.....real northern hemisphere like snow. Not to mention that the resort management had hit the trails with the snow cat (first time this season giving us classic and nice corduroy skate lanes!!! Had to pinch myself to check it was not a dream!
Enough rambling I will let the photos do the talking......
Lake Mountain road
The Camp looking towards Jubilee.....my favorite
The start of Echo Flat near the machine sheds
Me at Panorama
TC looking tired after Panorama
Triangle Junction
So a fantastic ski until a snapped my pole strap and had to ski back out of Jubilee back to the car minus a pole.
You should have seen the day trippers for snow play....unbelievable.....the queue at the gatehouse stretching almost 1-2km back towards Marysville...... Back tomorrow
