I'm on a roll...

The hill is quiet and the snow is average so I have time to post some more photos. The following were taken in an area just off the Alpine T-Bar known as the Enchanted Forest. There are some good examples of snow ghosts in there. The Snow Ghosts are trees covered in snow and ice. They grow so slowly in the alpine conditions that they are all hundreds of years old.

These photos were taken about 10 days ago on the first day the weather turned on us. The base was still 171cm but we had not had fresh snow for 5 days. When the weather first clears even if it has not snowed for a week whole areas of untouched powder are revealed where previously you simply could not see your hand in front of your face.

There are more which I will add in a second post. As you can see from the photos the place looks quite like nothing I have seen before. Sometimes after a big dump it hardly feels like you are on the same planet that boasts the beaches back home. You might also notice how few people we have to share this place with...just me and a giant mountain covered in snow! Have a nice day at work...
