Back to Mt Hutt for more Skiing.

It looked like a great day to go skiing and it turned out to be true, 
 
I was up before dawn this morning, leaving the house for Mt Hutt just after 6am.  It looked like it was going to be a great day and I was going to make the most of it while the schools were still on.  Arrived at the top carpark just as the sun was breaking over the horizon and I took a minute to take in the scenery and the experience, where I am actually standing.  “Gratitude” was the feeling that came to mind.  
Soon it was close to 9am, and I was almost first in line, ready to hit the slopes.  For some warmup, I skied down the easy “Highway 72” slope and I have never experienced it in such great condition.  Making “first tracks” on a completely new corded slope all the way down Highway 72… nice.  As the day progressed I ticked off the slopes one by one, going up the triple chair to the middle of the mountain, enjoying the “Chair Bowl” and “Lower Fascination”.
 
Soon I was on the 6-chair, going all the way to the top, such a nice day it turned out to be, and not too busy at all.  Beautiful views and great skiing.  I only had one tumble, which is not too bad for my second day.  The body and legs were really taking strain towards the end of the day, but I stayed and skied until 4pm when the lifts closed.  Wow, talk about “pap tyres”.
