It's a cold start and sunny too. Lovely crisp morning. Just a dusting really since the report yesterday and no cm being reported by the ski area at their 7:21am update this morning.


Some clouds are due later on and snow by tonight and into early tomorrow, but there's a chance of more sun during the day tomorrow too.


Fine weather for all the weekend visitors. Not too cold during the daytime. (And hopefully not too warm too!)
