If you were out yesterday and felt cold, don't think it was just you...it was really cold out on the mountain right throughout the day. If you had a face mask, you had it on. If you didn't, you spent the lift ride in conversation about how your face was frozen. The compensating factor was the blue skies and clear views. Today is at contrast with yesterday, with the temperatures being much milder (but still cold) and overcast skies clouding any spectacular views...however the cloud may lift according to the forecast and reveal some sun. Not much to report in the way of fresh snow except for 1cm, but tomorrow and Thursday look promising. The snow is forecast from tonight with the heaviest falls coming Wednesday and Thursday evening. At the same time winds may increase.
