A fresh layer of snow!
It shouldn't be a surprise in early March, but it's always great to see fresh snow on the ground and especially when we've hardly had any in recent days.
OK so there's over 10cm of it and the ski area reports 16cm on the mountain. (Yesterday the rain turned into snow in the afternoon).
Not enough for a reset, of course, but runs should be much improved this morning.
We expect light snow at times today. Looks like we might get some more at the weekend too.
