Good news on this Sunday morning... we have a nice, fresh layer of snow.
The ski area is reporting 5cm-19cm of snowfall across the mountain (base to top), so a decent layer to play in especially higher up.
I have measured 11cm.
We might receive some more today, with more snow incoming mid-week too.
Let's hope this sees us head back into more mid-winter like conditions.
Limited visibility in places this morning. No doubt some excited folk. Let's taking care!
