A beautiful sunny start to the last day of the season. Temperatures are average for this time of the year, currently 9degrees C in the village and 5degrees C at the top of the resort. Winds are light to moderate allowing all spring lifts to operate.
The snow base is now just 20cm at the top of the resort with only two courses to choose from: the center course and the spring park.
This is the last snow report of the 2007/2008 season. We hope you found the snow reports over the season informative and kept you up to date with the conditions. Now just 6 months away, we look forward to another great season in 2008/2009. |
