It's almost like winter has returned! More new snow to report overnight and light snow falling this morning... looks like we may have a snowy day in front of us. Alas, windy too and it's going to be affecting lift operations today it seems.
Personal comment - I'm not quite sure how the resort got from 415cm to 460cm over the last few days... really that much new snow? I haven't actually been out there myself in the last few days, but that is what the resort is reporting anyway...
