In the Snow 2011 – Falls Creek Day 2

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday the sun was out, it was warm and the snow remained icy. Today it was overcast, windy and cold and the snow turned mushy – go figure.

As we headed up the mountain, we knew it was going to be cold, the trees were all covered by a thick covering of frost.

The morning skiing was good with the overcast conditions and the runs were great.

Around lunchtime, the wind picked up, the wind chill dropped dramatically and the snow conditions went downhill. We still persevered until 5:00 pm though.

We were cold and it was good to get back to the Schuss Lodge and thaw out.

Even with the conditions, the GPS track for the day was 48 kms. 🙂
