Unexpected fun at Palisades

We got to Palisades today a bit late, unsure of what we would find.

At 11am, Gold Coast groomers were nice and firm. The snow was similarly quite "glazed" off-piste.

Granite bumps were skiing quite well. By 11:30am, they were just soft enough to be enjoyable.

The snow in the trees was comfortable too, if slightly firmer.

Shirley as usual skied great.

The top half of KT was quite decent as well, perhaps from the recent dusting. The snow at the top of Women's Downhill still felt relatively fresh.

We finished the day off in the Red Dog Glades - quite hairy and full of features. Imagine ice cream fresh out of the freezer. There seems to have been some solid melt/freeze cycles.

All-in-all, a better than expected day at Palisades. No complaints given the weather, we enjoyed some great skiing!
