One way to ensure you have the mountain to yourself is to have weather around zero degrees, wind around 50 kph and a mixture of snow/sleet/hail. That is exactly what we had and depending what slope you tackled, it was most unlikely to see another person skiing and you got to know the lifties on a first name basis. 🙂
Even though the weather wasn’t the best, the skiing was the best we have had for a long time. The groomed runs kept firm and had a layer of fresh snow on top of the corduroy.
We stuck it out for 5 hours, getting back to the Schuss Ski Lodge a little cold and wet but it was worth it.
Distance on the MapmyWalk app for the day was 52km.
