Red Heather

First day out skiing this season. Started skinning at about 1km up from parking lot at the first viewpoint. Conditions are thin but improve as you climb higher. HS of 30 at the waterfall and 60 at red heather hut. Large surface hoar on all aspects above 12m, at least 10mm in places. Snowpack is thin but well settled.

Weather Report

Took a temp at 3pm in the shade at it was +2. Suspect it got up to +5 at least on solar aspects in the afternoon.
