Yesterday was a beautiful day. Deep blue skies above the resort and everything was looking fantastic.
Excellent conditions for 9th March!
This morning the clouds are back. As is new snow. 20-25cm of it in fact. Early morning fog has eased and visibility improved and there's a bit of sun as well at the moment I write this (just after 10am).
Hardly any wind earlier on but it has got stronger now. Similar conditions forecast for tomorrow.

Utopia: 310cm
