-7C.


Clearish skies, just some cloud hanging on.


The sun is out.


The snow is in excellent condition.


All is good.


We can expect less snow over the next few days. There's even some on the local forecast for today, so conditions here might well change quickly, but clearer skies generally with us over the next few days. With the recent snowfalls, we're certainly not complaining it will be great out on the slopes today.
