The sun's out again... you know I’ve said it over the years, and I’ll stand by it: give me heavy snow, poor visibility, some good googles and helmet and warm clothes.

Lots of rain yesterday, but it got cold enough that we have a few cm of new snow, and dense fog.

On time for your report today, and it’s going to be a warm and sunny start to the day, although my favorite weather site says we’ll have rain later in the day.

Sunny, very warm, a southern wind, all coming together to eat up the snow.

A beautiful sunny, sparkling-snow day to start more resort openings.

OK, one more day to more openings, and we do have a bit more snow on the ground.

Rain again overnight, ending with a few sprinkles in the early morning hours.

Pretty heavy rain overnight that has (thankfully) turned to snow. Only about 7cm so far, but it’s still coming down.

A little more snow overnight, and at least four resorts are running a handful of lifts, while two others have left up information from long ago and no report on whether they did in fact decide to open today.

One day before a handful of planned ski area openings; we got some snow, but I wonder if it will be enough to let people get out on the snow.

Another day with some good snow falling. To start out, though, we did not feel last night's earthquake—lots of people have already asked about that.

Just a quick pre-season note to keep our snow depths ongoing. It did snow through the day, and very lightly now, but we only got about 17cm of new.

The first real snow of the year; that November snow never really counts, because it comes down heavy and wet and pretty deep but it always melts away (we still add it to the annual total, of course).

End of the penultimate week of November up here (not a word I use that often), and your writer was away during this week as the first snowfall arrived at the base level, bringing about 35cm of wet snow.
