We did get some rain yesterday but it stopped overnight and we have just a cloudy morning.
There might be some more spots of rain this morning but a good chance of clearer skies later in the day. Would be nice. Tomorrow might be nice too, though it's today that is the national holiday.
A1 and A5 still open. With A1 you can still slide down from the top of the gondola to base still. The ski area is clearly working hard to remain open as long as possible. Full marks there.
