On Friday, a lack of energy to charge the hill courtesy of five consecutive days of riding combined with a lack of new snow (for once) finally persuaded Stu to take the camera up to capture some happy snaps.
Suffice to say, there was still enough fresh snow about to make him take his camera duties rather, ah, lightly.
Anyways, click read more to see a few shots from the hill.
Given it was the first time with the camera on the hill, there were always going to be teething problems.
Still, some stuff came out okay. Here's Paz getting some powder:
And a few shots from Stu, sitting deep inside Snorkel Glades, far and away the most super legendary tree run eeever. Sadly, the lens got a bit foggy, hence the blur.
Looking up (my line was through those two trees second and third from the right):
Blatant self-promotion (usually have a helmet but rode with a beanie when using the camera cos I was taking it easy):
Looking down the run (obvious line there):
As the pics kind of show, one of the great things about this hill is that even when it doesn't snow, there's still loads of fresh snow about. This day was a bit weird with temps getting close to 0, so everything was a bit heavier and wet, but it was still wicked fun.
