Happy Christmas!
And we have some fresh snow to celebrate it with.
It's a fairly modest amount looking outside early on. The ski area reports 12-20cm overnight on top of 12-15cm up top during the day yesterday and a few cm down at base. If my sums are correct, that gives us 30+cm on the top areas since this time yesterday, so that sounds good.
It doesn't feel particularly cold this morning but it should be snowing through the day and tomorrow too. Yes, that please.
After a day closed due to wind yesterday, the ski area is open again this morning and there's a fair few people waiting for the gondola. The Paradise quad is up and running too this morning.
Let's enjoying.
