Yesterday I said that today should be warmer. And warmer it most certainly is. Outside the thermometer now says 10 degrees, and the forecast says a high of about 16 degrees at town level. We're all set to see it cool off a bit again though from tomorrow, but there doesn't look like much chance of much (any?) snow in the coming week with more of a chance of rain at times than snow. So is that our lot? The optimist in me holds out for one or two more refreshes, though the realist...
Anyway yes a cloudy morning though some patches of blue sky on show behind the clouds.
Tomorrow won't be as warm as today and mostly cloudy conditions again, with a chance of rain/snow showers in the morning according to the latest local forecast.
In a bit of resort news it seems that Maiko Snow Resort, while still open until 31st March (and then two more weekends only), has the Gondola closed. This doesn't affect the runs open as you can still get up to the back bowl using the two quad lifts...
