Clouds have hung around the tops for most of the day so far leading to flat light conditions at times depending on how much sunlight is able to penetrate. Temperatures are certainly warmer than they have been recently and around the village the higher temperatures and sunshine have led to melting taking place on roofs and the roads, but the cloud hovering over the mountain itself has done a good job of protecting the slopes. The pistes are well groomed and most of the side powder has now been skied out. Tomorrow is also looking to be quite warm but the good news is there is some snow heading this way over the weekend.
