Leon Hawea, of Hamilton, skis around a summer schrund on Turoa's Blackhand Trail on 2 January. Despite being a traditional summer month, the snow conditions were more like spring - firm early in the morning with a softening layer later. Slush only appeared where many skiers churned up the snow. (A schrund -at left of photo - is a hole which develops when rock warms up and melts the snow next to it. They can become several metres deep). Photo: Robert Milne.
