The forecast snow arrived but with gale force winds leaving some nice windblown in the gullies. The trails are getting wider and the top to bottom grooming is really good.
Waiting for the next front to pass thru this sunday , hopefully some snow to fall.
Turoa has a good base and it still feels like midwinter. Backcountry access is starting to open up.
