Well I'm glad that rain is out of the way. No more until April, ok?!


The rain turned into snow I am happy to report and this morning there's up to 15cm of new snow on the slopes. It's nice to be back to things being colder too. Not much of a wind and a generally calm and fine morning. Not deep blue skies but the sun is out.


Perhaps not enough new snow to completely cover up some icy parts and so the groomers might be the pick of the bunch today and looked in very nice condition when I was walking out there just before.


The tree runs are open again today.
