@Fitness: There was snow on Bollard and presumably Mashai, Tsepeng, Walker etc, but its probably long gone by now. More might come - yr.no is predicting snow tomorrow (as well as yesterday)...

We slept on top of the amphitheatre on saturday night. Had hail, sleet, snow, rain, wind and lightning. Great fun...
