my first day of alpine powder in two weeks. the temps have been steady around -10C in the alpine, so any new snow is well preserved, and we've been getting refresher layers every other day. it wasn't like a 35cm powder day, but soft, semi-tracked snow to be found everywhere. overall the conditions are very good. the lower mountain is rock hard every morning but by the afternoon has softened into good corn.
