Yesterday we ended up with cloud and sometimes snow... with some snow falling this morning (though it's quite bright and eased as I write this). It's still windy though and again the ski area is saying that wind might affect lifts today.


And still, the forecast looks very snowy particularly from the weekend onwards.
