A very good morning to you.


And yes, we got that heavy snow. :)

30+cm of it, with more due during the day today.


Along with the snow we have strong gusty winds - as well as feeling cold, they're affecting the Number 13 lift and possibly others.


The snow is due to keep falling through tomorrow so more numbers to report tomorrow. It looks like there's a good chance things will be calmer tomorrow, so maybe a good day go be out enjoying this fresh powder...
