There'll be a lot of rejoicing across, I would imagine, all the snow resorts after last night's fall (and squalls).
Great to have a decent amount of powder again and more to come over the coming week.
To add to the joy, the sun is also out, certainly lower down with the tops sometimes in cloud and not the usual fog. It should therefore be a fairly bright day, however, small amounts of snow should also fall during the day. There will be a bit of wind about higher up.
Weekenders, aren't you lucky?!
