Yesterday saw a warm front arrive that has now passed, and overnight there has been an additional 10cm of new snow.
Stepping outside the first thing you will notice will be the wind which is blowing in gusts moderately at base level and stronger at the mountain top. There has been no indication by the resort so far that this will affect lift operations.
