Monday was unexpectedly busy and I though there would be a similar number of people on Tuesday, but the skiers were missing. Long weekenders had been and gone. On what promised to be the last sunny day for a while, the pistes were pretty much deserted. It is difficult to see another crowded day this season.
The skiing was good. In the afternoon, the Punch Bowl offered great snow and the absence of the crazies meant the tunnel under the railway line could be approached with confidence that someone would not arrive by your side in the narrowest section at uncontrolled speed.
In the afternoon the clouds began to build up and the promised change in the weather is imminent. It is still difficult though to imagine the winter temperatures forecast.
An enjoyable spring day brought 8,827 vertical metres in 18 lift rides and 57 kilometres travelled.
