Upper Torpy

<p>30cm-70cm total snow, which decreases markedly below 1500m. Variable snow surfaces at treeline and above with the best riding in the trees. Surface hoar growth was observed below treeline but seemed to be confined to an elevation band between 1200m-1500m on northerly aspects. A 1cm layer of facets on the surface is widespread. Snowpack lacks strength and trail-breaking was difficult. Snow started falling around noon at 1cm/hr or less with light wind gusts from the SE. </p>
