After 100mm+ of rain the mountain has not turned out too badly. A few creeks opened up in places, but for the most part the base was affected, but not decimated.
Here’s the latest from glisse after Monday’s skiing:
Just got in after a few hours of burning around the mountain. The 10 cm of fresh has definitely helped to heal some of the wounds that were inflicted upon the mountain last Saturday. Cowcamp and Dam Run had a few new sink holes but are both easily skiable and should hang around for while. Chute 1 was great as was Fast One etc. Outer, outer edge was creamy to the bottom. Saw some borders slide down lower Wombat bowl and they appeared to be having about as much fun as anyone can have when boarding. Top of Fed bowl and Bull Run Bowl both skied great. Grimus Chair and Boggy Tbar are awaiting load rebuilds, however, SCV and Rush Run all look in good shape from a distance. Lower Fed bowl looks okay too with plenty of snow still on Whiskey Creek.
Good spring skiing at Buller is back on track barring any future rain disasters.
No skiing pics, but some from the drive home:
Ah the Serenity…
Almost impossible to believe! Only a few weeks ago people were commenting on the belief that Eildon might never again have water of any appreciable level above the creek line in the bottom at Bonnie Doon.
