We did see the snow ease off yesterday. This morning is bright, lots of cloud around, but also more and more blue sky appearing as time marches on. I get the feeling that give another few hours it will be much clearer and we might get to see lots of the sun. It's keeping really cold so snow conditions should remain good. And before we know it, snow is due back with a fresh topup due overnight and into tomorrow morning.
There's a few conflicting ideas on what we'll see tomorrow - ranging from clearer skies to snow. So take your pick. It should keep cold though through the weekend. So come expecting cold and snow showers, and just be happy if you get some sun in between.
Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas, depending on weather:
