Sometimes you get lost for superlatives. But for the moment 'wow' will do.
Close to a metre of snow in the last two days and today is clear blue skies.
Easily the best day of the season so far and it has also had the courtesy to come on a Saturday. Get in early before someone else eats up some of the powder. Though right now there's enough for more than a few.
All open as normal. Thunderbirds are go!
