Good morning, and this time I have some fresh snow to report to you. 15cm of it and that is what the ski area are themselves also reporting from the mountain. Fingers crossed it's the start of some more consistent snow over the weekend and into early next week. It will be good to get back to that after a calmer spell of weather.
