Hi Wayne,
Went for an exploratory trip up Sproat last Friday. Snow levels were considerably less than expected, Snow Depth on the back of Gin Peak at around 1700m was less than 30cm. We were able to drive the whole way up the access road that the snowmobile company use, and there was no sign of any snow where we parked at around 1450m. Not enough to ski on, but we did find this awesome pond skim!

Hi Wayne,
I've read your blog for a while, it's great and I hope you keep things going this winter!
I was up in the Duffy this weekend, got some fresh turns in. There was about 40cm of somewhat consolidated base on Saturday, with rain up to 1800m. We slept at 2000m, and got about 10-15 cm overnight. Temperatures were -6 in the morning with a light breeze, and the base was somewhat more consolidated with the cooler temps. Got some fresh turns, and only hit one rock (rock skis recommended)! We saw a small (sz 1ish) on a south facing slope off in the distance later in the morning.
The alpine could use a good dump of snow, but if you can find the right lines, it's game on.
Cheers, Mauro
