Hello and welcome to Monday morning. And what better way to start the day than news of another 30cm or so of fresh snow. Oh yes. And it's good stuff too with the cold conditions helping.
Can't wait to get up to the top this morning (though good conditions can be enjoyed on the lower slopes as well of course).
Snowfall is forecast for the day today and tomorrow as well, before easing up maybe on Wednesday.
Back to snow on Friday just in time for Saturday? Sounds about perfect that!
