With 4cm of snow falling overnight, we had a brief glimpse of sun at breakfast time but then winter hit again and stayed all day.

The slopes were perfect with a groomed base and 2-4 cm of “Aussie Powder” on top and it stayed like this all day as the temperature never went over zero degrees all day.

The only problem was that with 40 kph winds and alternating snow and ice, it confined you to the sheltered runs only to be turned into snowmen when you went up on the lifts.

We persisted until lunchtime then went back to the lodge for a break, heading back up the mountain after an hour to find the snow still coming down but the wind abating a little.

Due to the cold temperatures the runs remained good all day.

After skiing the Summit in the morning, we came across Samara Tanton doing her daily Falls Creek update, so we got our 15 seconds of fame in the background.

Rachael had Race Day in her Junior Workshop class and took out the fastest girl on the Mountain today. 🙂

After we finished for the day, I went down to the car to check that it would start and it was all OK.

Our last day of skiing is tomorrow then it is the trek home overnight.

Even with some time off at lunch time, still managed to do 52 km.
