Good morning all.
Happy to report fresh snow this morning and a decent amount of it too; as of 9:30am I measure 23cm.
The resort was showing a ruler measuring around 19cm earlier on this morning... and are saying 30cm on the official site. Anyway, as much as I prefer the latter number, I like both.
It's more like what we expect. And I give thanks.
Oh yes, looks like SAWA II and Bear tree run courses are open this morning. Yey.
