Wow - another dusting of snow overnight has transformed the village back into a mid winter scene again, with gardens and trees blanketed in a thin layer of white that is contrasting with the greens of spring that are trying to come through.
It is looking like another sunny day ahead and a great day to be on the mountain with a few centimetres of fresh snow to play in.
