I went for a ski!

After some productive time doing Uni assignments I decided I deserved a ski and to check out just how much snow has fallen over the last 4 days. There was snow on ground at home and it had settled on the road just before the Pumping station.

I put on chains at Sawpit Creek and the road was constantly covered in snow after rennix gap.

On the hill I got in one quick run with only 4 others on snowboards. Then the V8 was shut for 10 minutes whilst they cleared some more snow.

I spent the next hour getting fresh windblown snow by Mitchell T and skiing straight back onto the V8. There would have been about 30 other people riding the lift.

Stupid Word lost half an assingment, so I don't think I'll be heading up again tomorrow, but if you have the time come down this weekend, I recon the'll open all of the snowmade areas on Saturday. Waht a season starter.
