Being stuck at work you end up watching it all happen from afar - checking out the webcams, see the pics on Facebook, read the stories on snowco, and even here in the AK you can hear familiar Ohakune voices doing the snow reports on the radio.
But it wasn't all sloppy leftovers at Turoa on Saturday. People still stoked to be out on the snow which was still dry and lovely to ride up high where the crowds spread out. The weather was still good too before the gale force winds closed the mountain on Sunday.
I was suffering with a bit of a gammy knee so took it real cruisey and most of my day in the vicinity of the Jumbo T. For those more adventurous, hiking was on. Many people took the early season hike up to the summit (including my lovely boyfriend), and some also ventured out west with a little hike out depending where they went.
