A very good morning to you.


How does another 30cm of fresh snow sound?


It's cold out there and visibility is limited but it should be worth getting out there with lots of excellent fresh snow to play in.


Once we get into tomorrow, forecast seem to point towards a good chance of generally clearer skies and hopefully temperatures remaining cold enough to keep the snow in good condition.


It should be a very good week to be here.
