Good morning.


Good news too!


The resort is reporting 20-30cm of fresh snowfall and I am measuring 24cm to add to my reporting.


Expect some sunshine tomorrow and a bit of a milder period around Tuesday-Wednesday.


For now though, I think we need to get out and enjoy this fresh snow. Limited visibility out there now - take care and have fun.
