Spring Dump!!!

October 19th.  From a dry car park the day before, this photo of the base building in the Pisa Range shows what can happen overnight.  Once the grass turns green everyone quits skiing but this is the best part of the ski season if you ask me.

Our popular Summit to Sea trips can meet with some pretty wild weather.  Here the team tries to dig down to the door of the hut.  Fast digging barely stayed ahead of the snow as it filled in.  The long finespells of weather have meant thin snow and icy conditions at the ski areas but the glaciers there is no shortage of snow!

I came across this little video a client took while lifting into the Fox Glacier.  What can I say, we are pretty lucky to live in such a wild place.  Come check it out for yourself.
