More great news this morning with another 40+cm of fresh snowfall after another day of snow. Yes!! It was pretty windy during the day and this morning... yes, it's still snowing. With some strong winds blowing around at times - hopefully that won't mess with lift operations.


Snow seems due to continue generally for a few more days, if you are wanting to see some sunshine it might be close to the weekend before that happens.


Great right now if you love powder though. (And you do, don't you?!)
