The summit is positively dazzling on this bright day. Finally, a perfect day for 360 photos. There are a few clouds around but should go away.
Temperatures are well down so the crisp slopes shouldn't suffer too much.
Make the most of the day. Those coming tomorrow, get out quick as this clear spell is likely to change tomorrow afternoon when we expect a replenishment of the soft stuff.
Don't forget to change the lenses in your goggles if you have changeable ones.
