The weather can't seem to make up its mind between spring and winter at the moment. Yet again there has been a dusting of new snow through the village. Today skies are grey and there is some wind as well - it looks and feels wintery again. With the slightly colder temperatures over night, and lack of sun beating down on the snow, the slopes will be faster today.
