There was some new snow on the ground this morning. Earlier on clouds were close to the top of the resort, but they have moved higher and have broken up, and it is now mostly clear sky with sunshine. There is a light breeze coming and going. Warm temperatures mean the mountain is spring snow conditions from top to bottom. At the moment the snow is just slightly soft and not slushy, so the skiing is very good.
