It's almost time....

The cold wet weather rolled into the mountains on the 12th of May and it snowed intermittently for about a week, putting down some nice pre-season cover and temporarily closing the road across the high plains. Some keen locals have been out for a xc ski. There is still cover on the higher slopes and I hear that snow-making is expected to start this week.

The hand-held ticket scanners of last season are being replaced with RFID scanning gates on the main access lifts. This should make the scanning more reliable and less bother.

My resort entry pass arrived in the mail this morning and the Hero Pass is paid for. Roll on Queens Birthday Weekend
