I have about 10cm of new snow to report this morning with the resort saying up to 20cm in places. The snow continues and the top part of the mountain is covered in cloud at the moment. Fair visibility lower down but thick cloud higher up. Nice snow all over.
It's about -5C at the moment and only a slight wind. Good day to be smashing that there powder!
