Fresh snow this morning!
Admittedly it's not a huge amount, but it is so good to a fresh white cover.
The ski area reports 3-5cm across the mountain and we might get a bit more today.
(Next Monday is looking good for some new cm too... the forecast for the coming week is looking much nicer than this time last week, that's for sure. Fingers crossed.)
Alas, a few more runs on the mountain are not available, including Skyline and runs off that ridge course. See the list below.
