Snow Report

The Weather Report Lied!

When the weather report says: 

And we look out the Annupuri Lodge front window and see ...

and ....

The crew at Annupuri Lodge well... we tend to get a little excited :-)

Annupuri is currently engulfed in a massive storm that has caused over 40cm of the highest quality power snow to dump on even the lowest parts of Annupuri. 

After a stunning day yesterday, the weather turned quickly around 5pm, this was the beginning of one mother of a storm. Warmer temperatures in the early evening caused a massive amount of wetter snow to fall adding to the already amazing base on the Annupuri Mountain. As Temperatures dropped below minus 9 by 10:00pm, we were treated to another famous Annupuri dump, and one which caused me to spend a good half our trying to dig my car out!

I spent my morning bombing down bottomless untouched powder on my favourite run "Fukuyuki-rinkan" here at Annupuri.  As this stor m continues to dump amazing powder snow and with a number of back country gates only days away from opening, I can honestly say "if your not here, your really missing out...."
