Similar look to things this morning. Cold, cloudy, 3cm of fresh snow.
Sun tomorrow? A good chance and it will have been a while since we had a clear blue sky day, so would be nice.
Yokokura Wall run remains closed due to avalanche risk.
With the long weekend now over, we are back to a normal January weekday today meaning less people.
