see attached map - mix of forest trails and out on open hillside
:: Weather Conditions
cloud base around 500m, freezing level 500-600m
mainly dry, but sleet and snow during last 20mins
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
still deep, though some snow loss lower down,
1/2 ski pole deep on hillside, and drifts several metres deep by trails
so plenty snow left and you can ski anywhere
