On S aspects the upper 20cm was extremely heavy and wet. By mid afternoon most turns on S aspects were sluffing small wet slides. N aspects skied better with ski penetration of 5cm. Intense sun was out until clouds came in around 2pm. Light rain began around 430pm. Parked about 1km down the branch road to Roberts due to some shaded lingering snow.
