Mt Cameron tour The road was quite thin and driveable to about 650 m. Gorgeous views great company. The bluebird forecast and the min earlier in the week enticed us to go explore locally rather than further north Skied up Cameron and down to the Cameron and Apps col. Travel was slower than expected so decided not to try up to Apps and return home Ski quality was generally mediocre. Snow conditions were very variable - a few non wind effect spots held nice dry power, it was generally was either wind effected, heavy and wet (south aspect we skied), or a bit of a sun crust. Very little snow below about 1100m. My ski bases aren’t happy about the road especially near the bottom. Would recommend going above 1300m to non solar aspects (north aspects) thats where the good stuff is (was?). Nothing a couple meters of snow wouldn’t cure
