Coronet Peak today saw choppy snow conditions off piste with a firm(ish) base underneath this morning after yesterdays warm/wet conditions in the afternoon. On piste was semi hard and fast with a huge 2cms of fresh at the top and about 0.2cms at the bottom but as they day wore on the conditions softened both on and off piste and very nice late winter/early spring conditions prevailed for the day giving feel god snow and skiing. It may be hard and fast tomorrow morning!
Looks like we have some more snow on the way for next week - nothing major but a couple of dusting's will keep things skiing well here.
Some things never cease to amaze me - random guy today couldn't get any part of his boots done up(not even the power straps)and was convinced he would be able to ski just fine. I quietly pointed out that his skis with boots attached could quite possibly fall off while riding the chair creating injury to others as a direct hit off the chair or hit the ground and become a missile(ie. run away skis) and if he made it successfully to the top without getting frostbitten toes his first turn may result it in complete and utter failure resulting in either a snapped leg and a run away ski ski scenario --- it took some time to convince him and I had to threaten to remove his ski pass. I don't think he knew how to at all or was just to bloody lazy as I had to do them up for him. After about 10 mins I had him sorted but could not convince him a lesson may be useful.
