Good haul of fresh snow this morning with over 20cm here in the village area and no doubt more than that up at higher elevations.
Fresh snow wherever you decide to ski or board this morning.
It's also blowing around a lot with strong winds and poor visibility, but looks like the resort is open as planned.
Going to clear a bit later on and tomorrow?
