6cm doesn't sound like a lot, but the wind was howling at the peak and anything leeward was getting loaded and refreshed all day. on the right aspects, the snow rode like a 20cm day. no one in the alpine meant fresh tracks lap after lap off the peak. the only hindrance was visibility which was coming and going. finished up with a long ride through kybers and the snow stayed nice all the way to the bottom. one of my best days of the season so far.
