Good afternoon everybody.
Well, storm Barnaby has hit and he has hit hard! We've had 41cm of fresh snow since midnight yesterday and I cannot see any signs of stopping.
Conditions on the hill today are powdery! Hip deep powder at the top of the resort! Today
Looking onwards we're expecting Barnaby to carry on until Monday, then, the weather should calm down and be a little clearer for the rest of week.
Frosty!
