Fresh snow, folks!


I am measuring 8cm and the resort is reporting 10cm of fresh snow on the mountain. Both sound good to me and need further investigation!


Bit of a wind by the looks at the moment and kind of limited visibility, so googles needed. But get them on and let's go make the most of this gift from nature.
