Day 12 & 13 - Apex Mountain

Our last two days at Apex have been awesome, unfortunately the fresh snow didn’t arrive until the last day but it did make our last day brilliant. Rather than writing a journal entry we thought we ask each tour member to tell us their favourite moment or highlight of our time at Apex Mountain.
