Lots of cloud around this morning but breaks in them as well. For now early on things are nice and calm and I would imagine planned lifts will be open this Saturday morning.
Rain might happen later on in the day though and overnight into tomorrow... possibly more snow at higher elevations?
There may be leftovers of that into tomorrow morning, along with stronger winds forecast.
Going back to what I mentioned yesterday, my good friend was out there on Thursday and reporting some really nice almost-deep conditions on the mountain. Up to 20cm or so in places? Nice weather conditions by the sound of things as well. Not bad for the getting on for the middle of April!
