Ah, now this is good.
The snow started in the middle of the day yesterday and we had about 15cm by evening time, and this morning up to 20-30cm of new snowfall. Very nice. Still, it is on top of the somewhat icy conditions that we had before the snow hit below it and so a bit more would be good to give us nice soft deep conditions.
The snow is still falling and should be into tomorrow as well. Generally poor visibility on the slopes.
The tree runs are open again today so should be a good day.
