00:01A picture-perfect day in the snowy mountains.
00:05Sunlight, great shadows, lots of snow and it's not too cold.
00:09With Perishal looking like a winter wonderland.
00:12Feels so sick, the base is really good at the moment, sticks so well.
00:16It's a very late snow, so it's a very good day, thank God.
00:21Just a week ago these slopes were spotted with grass,
00:24following one of the worst starts to the season in decades.
00:27I'm not going to say grim but everyone was working really hard
00:31to keep everybody entertained and occupied.
00:33A lot of people wanted to leave because they weren't certain if the snow was going to come.
00:38But thanks to a snowstorm, Perishal saw almost 40 centimetres fall
00:41just in time for the school holiday crowds to get some turns in.
00:45Now look at them, you know, they're here, the sun's out, the snow's here,
00:49the snowmaking's going fantastic at night time.
00:52The snow's been amazing, it's definitely picked up.
00:55But there are still long queues for the ski lifts,
00:57with resorts needing a lot more snow to open up all parts of the mountain.
01:02Yeah, pretty slow, there could be a bit more snow but...
01:06The snow's actually pretty compact.
01:08Yeah, it's not very soft at the moment so stacks are going to hurt.
01:11Good snow.
01:12Good snow, I think I wish more.
01:14I'm having my fingers crossed, we just want to get more.
01:17Cold conditions are forecast for a while yet, giving more people the chance to carve it up.
01:23Let's go.
01:25Let's go.
01:25Start a new one.
01:29I don't know.
01:30And we'll see if I can't see you around the mountain.
01:30Let's go.
01:30You can't squeeze it again, that's crazy.
01:31All right.
01:31We'll see you in the morning.
01:31I'm so scared.
