Morning.


A mix of cloud and blue sky at the start of operations today and it feels chilly outside.


The ski area isn't reporting any cm of snow, but I am adding 2cm from what we got yesterday morning.


The weekly forecast seems to be dominated by sun and cloud, with perhaps a sprinkling of snow at times if we are lucky.


With a few weeks left in the season, let's hope temps don't rise too much and we have some good weather to enjoy it while we can.
