Quick report
Beautiful sunny December day at HR. Its nice to see the hills and trees with a dusting of white again. With the clear skies we also had calm conditions and this was allowing the sun to warm southern slopes and rock faces resulting in a few rollerballs. Minimal transport of yesterdays new snow with a few soft pillows found on ridgelines approaching 24in depth. Low angle NNE slopes that had old snow prior to this refresh provided the only skiing. Approaching 30deg the new snow was prone to sluffing.
