Saved by the new snow

With 50cm or so deposited overnight on Wednesday the death crust that was the bain of our lives has been buried effectively now. Although it has been affected by strong southerly winds there are certainly some great turns and general travel conditions. We toured up to the top of Pare on a scoured new snow surface which provided great traction and skinning conditions.

Lee slopes seem to have a bit of wind crust on them making for some interesting challenges but it’s all better than skiing ice!!
