Let it snow!

by overflow50

The latest storm has dumped a bunch of snow onto the mountains and we have spent the last couple of days taking full advantage! About 30-40cm of powder fell (the right way up - warm to start and cold to finish) making for fantastic skiing.

Yesterday we skied the morning in dumping snow and low vis (no photos) but there was no-one on the hill. To the point where we skied one of the main pistes with 40cm of pow over groomer and had 2 tracks down one side before we went through! Then went back for seconds and it was still mostly untracked! After that we moved into a little section of easily accessable off piste and ran laps till our legs gave out.

This morning dawned clear so we headed straight up and into the offpiste area we played in yesterday to find that another 5cm had fallen overnight and yesterdays tracks were mostly filled in. Unfortunately more people where around today so it wasn't first tracks all day but it was far from skied out...

There were plenty of bottomless turns and for some reason the world kept going white... :P
