:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Skinned up the goose to the summit, a lap of summit gulley then back down the goose and a combat ski to within a couple of hundred yards of the gondola.
:: Weather Conditions
Light wind, cloud that cleared away to let the strong April sun through. Fairly cool in the shade, FL around 700m.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Summit gulley was lovely, a good base and at least boot deep fresh on top. The goose was just transforming to give a smooth creamy ski over a sort of lunar landscape of undulating humps and bumps.
