A light covering last night but here and there more so plus with the wind spreading it out. Lovely slopes and not many about to cut them up.
It is getting windier and Paradise slope and above it is hard to see the ground. Viz at about 10m at very top.
With the wind likely to increase make the most of the Kurohime Quad and possibly the Sky Cable.
