The weather was true to its word with falls right through to around 10pm last night. The powder was really light and dry so we had a great day on the slopes.
Today the day has broken into sunshine with little cloud at this stage. There will be great photo opportunities if you get up there early today with views across the ranges.
With the cloud lifting the temperature was a chilli -19 this morning but it should stabilise well to a minus 6C day.
Snow might be a little heavy as the day goes on.
