Welcome to the weekend.
And I'm glad that yesterday is behind us that really turned out to be a not particularly good day! It was windy, it was warm, it was wet and rainy, lifts had to be closed because of the conditions. Just not a good day all round really.
This morning the story is much better. We even have some fresh snowfall, perhaps 5-10cm or so at base area and the resort saying there's up to 15cm on the slopes. That is good. It might not be enough to completely cover what will be a hardened icy base, but it sure is better than us waking up to nothing new at all. The wind might have blown it around as well so more in places. Due care needed.
Light snow forecast for the day (though there's even a few breaks in the cloud at the mo), perhaps less so tomorrow and then clearer on Monday. So says the local forecast.
Lifts planned to be operating:
Number 1
Number 2
Number 3
