Bonney Moraines

Things were looking pretty marginal at the Loop Brook trailhead. Wet snow, drizzle, mist swirling about. We collectively lamented the arrival of an early spring. Still, there was hope as we skied past the picturesque old railway columns.



It began snowing heavily as we made our way past the slot canyon and up through the trees. The higher we got the dryer the snow become until eventually we were grinning at the prospect of finding some really good skiing. Even the clouds started to break up for us.



Here's Brenda looking surprised at how well the day turned out.



We had a few fabulous runs on the upper moraine on some of the best snow we've seen this season.



These moraines have a really good effort to reward ratio under the right conditions ie: when you can see! I mean look at this, the place is stunning.
