Good morning and good news.
This morning snow has started to fall heavily and it doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon. There is a fog blocking the view starting at the bottom of the mountain. The wind is slightly strong with occasional strong gusts too.
Proper mid-winter weather that might continue for a few days...
Too early just now but there might be disruptions to some ski lift operations.
