23rd April 2017

The third week of April saw winter temperatures return, but with glorious blue skies and sun. Snow conditions also returned to great winter grippy hard pack on the upper slopes, and soft spring snow down below. There was as ever some great off-piste to be found even though there had been no fresh snow for a while. Have a look at the video.
