Ladies Day

Well it seemed that way by the time I got to the top of Signature Hill the second time. I thought that a late start would have everyone else well ahead of me - wrong. Neither did I have to worry about the firmness of the snow - it was soft and dry where the new snow had settled. The remainder was a dirty colour with that breaking-glass type of icing on top.

Some drifts provided half boot-deep turns in dry powder - all very enjoyable. Unfortunately, even with the new snows, the extreme gales have really stripped many areas on the main range.

There were a lot of people out back - far more than if the resort had been open. Between the skier and boarder tracks, kickers, snowshoe trails and animal tracks we had to search out our own freshies.
