I have some fresh snow to report this morning! Just a little, just over 1cm, but I'll take it and add it to my numbers. (No fresh snow to be seen just a little further down towards town).
Just now there's a lot of cloud around but some blue sky too, and we are expecting some sun today.
The planned six lifts should be opening as normal today.
Looking ahead, it's going to be a warm weekend with temps rising about 10C during the day.
