Morning to you and happy new year.


It's a right humdinger of a new year too with some mad snow in the region. Easily another 50cm since yesterday and actually we didn't get quite as much as we thought we would overnight. The snow is forecast to ease off today.


I imagine that once the weather calms down, the tree run courses should start to open up. We've surely got enough snow now!


We may get some sun tomorrow. The lucky people here will be getting to enjoy excellent conditions.
