Well if you were in the resort over the weekend you will have experienced the extremes of the good and not so good. Saturday was unbelievably clear and blue, and was just an absolutely beautiful day which is why there was as much camera clicking as there was skiing. Sunday on the other hand brought with it moderate to strong winds. There was 10cm of snow deposited in the afternoon but then out of nowhere came a few hours of light rain and warm temps. Because of this the slopes will be a bit frosty today but it is currently snowing so the conditions are likely to be back to powder soon with light snow forecast throughout the week to base level.
