Just over 5cm of (on the wet side) snow but it is definitely a windy morning. That might affect operations today, though the gondolas do seem to be opening as planned.
More fresh snow is due into tomorrow, though I think spots of rain during the day down at base anyway, and it should be much colder tomorrow too.
Clearer skies and a warming up again from Sunday.
