Skiing at Perisher

P1140704-Yarrandoo 4 days, skiing at Perisher
We had a great 4 days: although the conditions were marginal.
The photo in the summary (above) is of Yarrandoo, (bottom right of the ridge run) with the grass on Thursday, which was apparently the first day it was opened.
The snow was great on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but by Thursday it was mostly groomed runs.
The cover was quite thin which made dodging rocks or tussocks of grass necessary on any run without snow making.
The exception to this was Guthega which although thin was nicely groomed natural snow with no unexpected rocks.
