A Blanket of soft snow
18th February 2023
After last nights snowfall, there now lies a blanket of ankle deep soft snow on most aspects. It looks like a winter paradise, but whether traveling on foot or ski/split board proceeding with caution was “choice of the day”, because hidden beneath this soft fluffy blanket of snow, there’s a Kaleidoscope of ever changing terrain. It varies from sheet ice, firm neve, soggy wet undergrowth, rocks and holes, to name but a few, but for those cunning enough to pick a good line it must have been paradise.
