I bring you more good news on this Sunday morning with another 8cm of fresh snowfall since the last report.
Let me add it's really nice quality snow too, lovely and light. Windy too, though the ski lifts aren't moving yet so let them blow away for the moment, I say.
The forecasts seem to show less fresh to be expected today and tomorrow will be a bit warmer; after that, another potentially decent amount falling around mid week.
I have not heard anything about snow on the mountain yet but if we have a few more days before the planned opening next weekend then we might be on for a very good start. I will of course keep you updated.
I hope you have a good Sunday.
