Ah yes, a return to snow with 10cm on the ground after the rain turned to snow later in the day yesterday; most of that is from yesterday with a couple more overnight.


The resort has increased the top snow depth by 20cm so you'd think that means 20cm up there - worth checking out I'd say!


It was snowing an hour ago too, but right now there is actually some sun and blue sky to be seen. Early birds might well be rewarded.
