Day 5: Stormy day with about 10cm of snow and some wind forecast. Luckliy the wind didn't arrive untl later in the evening. We spent most of the day in Burn skiing different varations. The second run we did was especially good - no need to climb all the way to the top of the knob as hard to ski from the top due to windlips. Sue joined us for two runs which was great as this was the first time I've skied with her in all the years of her cooking for us. Rob and Pete joined her on the way home while my dad and Eiri did one more run in the Burn. Time was a bit tight but Stuart and I decided to drop off the backside into Two Sandwich Run. No wind slab at the top this year... fun 500m descent though best for a smaller group as it does become a bit like a halfpipe. Quick paced climb back to the ridge and another run in the Burn before heading back to the lodge. Felt pretty good climbing at 600m/hr pace for two of the climbs. The last climb to the lodge was tiring though - more snow on the old trail than I expected.
