MAST Training- Winter weather has arrived on Farnham glacier after four bright sunshine days. The low pressure system came in about mid-morning on Sunday with some rain which fortunately was a light dusting of snow on the glacier. Switching to train SL after four days of GS was just what was needed to rejuvenate the athletes minds. The low pressure system is continuing with dropping temps and fresh snow falling. The weather will be clearing for Wednesday and Thursday when we switch back to GS. Life at Camp Green (2300 m) is filled with early mornings, afternoon dryland, video sessions, tuning skis and school work.
