Thursday 2nd February 2012, 9:40AM
Weather conditions: Sun
New snowfall (observed): 0cm
Snow depth (official): 170cm (official)
The mountain has been perfectly groomed today and looks fantastic set against the deep blue sky. If you are into carving on the groomers this is your day. If you have a camera, take it with you as this is one of the best days you could hope for for photos. The temperatures remain very cold and this is keeping the snow in great condition.

Weather conditions: Sun
New snowfall (observed): 0cm
Snow depth (official): 170cm (official)
Once again we have nice clear weather over the ski area and the town. Temperatures are remaining cold and keeping the snow in top condition, even though it has been a few days since we have received any fresh snow.

New snowfall (observed): 0cm
Snow depth (official): 170cm (official)
It is another great here with clear skies and sunshine and very cold temperatures. The only thing that would be nice would be some fresh snow to top up the fantastic powder base that we have. Unfortunately there isn't much in the way of new snow on the forecast radar over the next few days.
 
Monday 30th January 2012, 1:45PM
Weather conditions: Sun
New snowfall (observed): 0cm
Snow depth (official): 170cm (official)
It is a realatively chilly day but there is full sun coming though with the odd high cloud in the sky. As long as you are in the sun you will feel warm and there is little around in terms of wind. There is no new snow to report and the pistes are firm at the moment.
 
Sunday 29th January 2012, 6:17PM
Weather conditions: Scattered Flurries
New snowfall (observed): 4cm
Snow depth (official): 170cm (official)
There wasn't too much new snow on the piste today, but that didn't stop everyone from having a great day of winter sporting. It was relatively warm today, and the sun kept peaking its head out to say hello in between snow flurries. With a high of -6, it felt more like -2 without all that sun. The slopes were in excellent condition, and the slopes were busy all day long with plenty of people taking advantage of the excellent weather.

Winds are almost negligible, and the overnight low is forecast at -18. Hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow as well. Nothing like skiing and snowboarding under a blue sky.
 
Saturday 28th January 2012, 3:39PM
Weather conditions: Scattered Flurries
New snowfall (observed): 2cm
Snow depth (official): 170cm (official)
A few scattered snow flurries are making their way through the area, but on the whole it's been a cloudy but dry Saturday. A few centimeters of new snow have found their way to the ground here and there, but nothing to significant. However, everything that falls is the soft, dry powder kind of snow, so conditions are on the plus side on the ski slopes.

It's currently -9 after an overnight low of -25, meaning that things have warmed up quite a bit through the day. Temperatures shouldn't be too cold overnight tonight, dipping down into the minus mid-teens in preparation for a system that's headed our way for tomorrow.

Winds are light and variable, but on the whole nothing to speak of. If it weren't for all these clouds hanging around, today would be perfect. It's still a great opportunity to grab some fresh trails, and night skiing this evening should see good conditions.
 
Friday 27th January 2012, 9:32AM
Weather conditions: Light snow
New snowfall (observed): 3cm
Snow depth (official): 170cm (official)
The snow has continued to fall continuously since yesterday but the precipitation has been consistenly light which has meant in 24 hours the accumulation on the ground has amounted to 4cm. It will be more than this on the ski area itself and still does amount to a nice top up to keep snow conditions fresh. Cloud is covering most of the ski area at the moment but is looking like it may lift mid morning.
