Heavy wet snow on the skin up from 8am-10am, total accumulation 5cm. 10am onwards... Moderate to heavy rain, up to at least 1500m. We quit after a lap. Riding wasn't great, pretty slow in the deep wet powder, like having the brakes on. Had to double pole and skate down the Red Heather road. All my gear is soaked.

Hot leaving the parking lot. Never below freezing from 8am onward. Some snow accumulation overnight, maybe 10cm covering Sunday's tracks. 5cm extra snow Monday morning, followed by beating rain. We didn't stay long enough to see the afternoon downpour. Cloudy, foggy, not much wind in the morning.
