Post storm(s).

1st February 2015

We had a lot of snow last night and some serious winds to go with it. As a result a lot of terrain has been scoured with some pockets of deep unstable snow.

As usual after a storm, there is plenty of snow to clear of the road. Unfortunately 'The slide' couldn't be cleared due to drifting snow.

Didn’t take long to see unstable snow today. Block triggered by piste machine.

Drifting snow was a significant factor today.

Cornice collapse. Normally Ski Patrollers will deal with any unstable snow around pistes but it was all closed this morning.
