Superb day!

As you might know it snowed A LOT this weekend. In fact I can’t remember when it last snowed that heavily. At some part on Friday afternoon it was snowing something like 15 cm per hour, which is enormous!
So everyone expected a great day on Saturday but many people where disappointed because there where so much snow and the wind had hit it as well so it was extremely heavy and almost un-ski able in many places.
But now a couple of cold night and days have dried out the powder and today was a great day! My colleague at Alpine Experience, Wayne Watson said at the meeting this morning that we were in for a “top 5” of the season and he sure was right!
We skied some great snow and we can now have some fun on the slightly less steep slopes as well. Thank you Richard Hogg for the photos!
I skied on my new MOVEMENT skis and they where great! We will give you a more detailed review soon!
Not many avalanches are being triggered even if it’s an avalanche risk 4 but my explanation to this is that since we got so much snow it’s hard for a skier to get to the week spots. However if someone should trigger an avalanche, they could go HUGE so be very careful out there!

More snow is forecast this week so it looks like we will have a great end of the season!

Have fun and be safe,
Andreas
