Good morning.
In a contrast to the calm and cloud/fine of yesterday, it's a blizzard-y kind of morning with snow falling and a wind blowing. Ski area already reports over 30cm of fresh snow.
Even so, lifts are lining up to all be open for the morning. Let's hope they can make it.
There might be a break in the snow tomorrow but from late Monday onwards consistent moderate-heavy snow is due for at least a few days. It's going to be piling up.
