A bit warmer today, sort of …

After yesterday’s shocker of a day temperature wise, today was warmer but not by much. We awoke to 4 below zero and 12 below zero with the wind chill. Even with the increase in temperature, a number of the lifts were on wind hold, so no rush to get up there. It had been snowing on and off all night with a fresh layer of snow ready to be skied.
After finally getting motivated enough to get up to the top of the mountain, we were met with wind blowing and snow falling (well sideways). Given the conditions, the skiing was pretty good with the fresh powder on top of the solid base. This seemed to scare the boarders off so it stayed like this to well into the afternoon.
The kids decided that today was boarding day so Wombats Ramble was their choice of runs. It was their first day on the boards for a while but the conditions broke them with Rachael piking out after lunch.
Jenny wasn’t much longer before heading back. Bradley and I kept the team going until the cold and heavier snow called an end to the day around 3 pm.
