Good to see the clear skies moving in and pushing away the early morning cloud and fog (summit still covered).
So, looks like we're in for a clear day unlike yesterday which was windy with poor viz until 14:00.
Slopes are groomers but lovely and soft. This won't last the whole day of course so get out there!

Summit: 160cm
Paradise: 215cm
Chuo: 215cm
