Stunning weekend Oct 10-11 with 30 cm of new snow
WHAT a weekend! Over 30 cm of new snow fell with the cold southerly blast that swept up the country last Thursday and Friday. The scenery looked like mid winter with 10 cm of snow right down to HW 73.
The front cleared mid Saturday morning and then we had blue skies for the rest of the weekend. Some great skiing to be had, especially in sheltered areas over around the Rugby and Access Tows. The Rugby Tow had packed powder conditions by early Saturday afternoon with similar great conditions all of Sunday as well. Fun to step back to mid July conditions!
Allan’s Basin was awesome when it opened on Sunday with the best tracks found in Double Bowl and beyond on Hamilton Peak.
A great weekend was had by all. The photos below tell the story! We’ll continue to be open for weekends in October so come on up - lots of great riding, relaxing times on Palmer Lodge deck and long days to really enjoy it all.
