70cm Storm Total=Summit & Road Runner Set to Open this Morning.
The storm has cleared and we are left with a very white looking mountain. We had another 7 cm of snow in the past 24 hours, bringing the storm total to a whopping 70 cm, and the base is sitting on a healthy 61 cm. Not bad for the 10th of June!
The current temp is minus 2.3, heading for a top of 1 degree and the wind has backed off to a moderate southerly which should ease considerably during the morning. There's a little fog hanging over the village at the moment but that'll probably burn off once the day warms.
Unfortunately, the wind stopped us from opening The Summit and Road Runner yesterday, but now the wind has dropped they'll be ready to spin this morning. Stay tuned for more lifts and terrain opening very soon.
The groomed runs will be in good shape with nice dry snow on the surface but beware of the off-piste. It's really punchy with a slight crust, so get adventurous with caution.
Have fun out there!
Cheers Bill.
Backcountry Conditions
Insufficient base for safe turns in the Backcountry. It's mostly really punchy with a slight crust, so let it settle out some more.

Good skiing on all groomed and packed trails.
CAUTION. There are bollards across the DP trail at the DP end. They are to stop 4WD vehicles from entering the trail while the snow is still low. Approach with caution to avoid them.
