Mt Field Snow

Went up to Mt Field today, and there was about 40cm of fresh, soft snow over the whole area -up to a metre in the drifts. Was good to actually get a good tour in after a couple of crappy seasons in a row. I guess a fair bit will melt this week given the forecast, bu maybe some will survive till the next fall.
