It is colder and it is snowing. It's also a bit windy on the mountain though lifts appear to be unaffected. (Gnarly).


This snow does not look likely to extend much into tomorrow and come Thursday and particularly over the weekend it looks likely to be getting milder once again.


Come on snow. Let's have as much as possible today!
