A few cm of fresh snow this morning on the ground outside my place at base and earlier on the sun was out but it has since clouded over somewhat.
Snow this morning seems really light and I expect conditions on the slopes to very good. We're looking at more snow to fall as well tomorrow and probably Sunday as well.
Weekend visitors - come prepared!
