YES!


A proper good old dump of lovely fresh snowfall this morning greets us. And what a fine sight it is too. It's probably the most we have had in a day this season, or certainly close to it. Brilliant.


Madarao Kogen resort is this morning reporting 40-50cm of snowfall.


It's cold; there's loads of fresh snow.


Conditions this morning should be excellent.


What more can I say...


Perhaps March is the new January?*


(* sadly it looks like things are going to warm up again as we approach the weekend with little snow forecast - make the most of it while you can!)
