It is a little colder this morning at -6c and later in the day the high will peak at -3c. Things change quickly with weather, and 30 minutes ago conditions were clear affording a view of the whole resort, looking back from town. That has changed and low valley cloud has come across the ski resort and overhead it is high overcast. The cloud cover is thin though and the sun is pushing through and warming the village. It is forecast to stay mostly cloudy in the morning, with some light snow forecast in the afternoon. Overnight we have receive 1cm.
