Snow Conditions

deepPowder, heavy

Snowline started just after the diamond head parking lot (around the lookout, approx 1050m). Continuous after that, increasing to 30cm, 45cm, and eventually nearly 75cm at 1500m. Given there was no snow base, you could step/pole plant all the way to the earth below Friday nights storm snow event. It was fairly heavy and wet snow, very easy to make snowballs to throw at your friends! Snow at 1500m Saturday afternoon turned to wet snow and rain back at the parking lot. Stoked to get this season started!!!
