The weather is looking good for today so don't delay and get out there now. The wind has disppeared at base, another 7cm of fresh snow fell throughout yesterday, and all lifts are operating. Snow conditions have returned to powder and will stay that way with the consistent low temperatures that are forecast over the next week. Walking along the footpaths this morning you could hear that squeaky sound of dry dry snow. The weekend should be a cracker with clear weather on Saturday and heavy snow on the radar for Saturday evening.
