<p>Had a look up the microwave tower road. ~40cm at the gate and a long skin to treeline. Closer to 60cm at the top. Whumphing as we reached treeline. Major wind effect at the ridge top stripped it down to bare rock for the most part. Some wind sheltered gullies filled in sufficiently for turns but still really sharky! Best skiing was on the road back down just below treeline.</p>
