A spectacular sunny day today, starting off cool, but warm in the mountain for most of the day. There was an inversion of temperatures, which meant that it is colder in the valley bottom than up at 2000m.

Since the crazy high altitude rain event last weekend, we did have a ton of new snow on Tuesday and Tuesday night, and Wednesday turned out to be a stunning sunny powder morning, with light deep powder, around 60cm or so in the Col Cornu and Index zones. We got a strong north wind on Wednesday afternoon, though, which pretty much destroyed most of the powder and exposed the raincrust in places, but the snow coverage is great, and it is generally soft windpacked or sun-affected snow now.
