The last day of 2017, and some kind of strange weather to end the year: a south wind (although it seems to come from the west here at base level), only a little snow from yesterday, pretty good wind.

More snow through the night, along with some wind, has resulted in just under 30cm of pretty heavy stuff.

A little sun to start the day, a little fresh added on the monster dump of the past few days.

More leisurely reporting today; no job on the hill to run out to, although this was another 5am wake up for snow clearing.

Tons of snow. 81cm and falling (and it could be a little more; my two measuring points had different results….).

Nice snowfall overnight, nothing too heavy. Yet.

Good news: 31cm of fresh, light new snow.

Another 45cm of snow. That means just over a meter in the past two days, a January of a snowfall, not a normal December accumulation.

We’re getting real snow! After railing at the ski resorts for not getting reports out early enough, here I am coming to you late on the second day of an expanded available resort menu.

Man, when it snows... After yesterday’s report, the switch really turned on. We had 44cm by evening, and 54cm in total by morning.

A bit more snow through the day yesterday and into today; a nice base is building up there for the increased openings from Friday.

It seemed like we were going to get a lot of snow overnight, with a quick flash of lightning - one of the sure signs of heavy snow - at about 10 pm.

The 2017-2018 season is now officially begun. Started. Going.

26cm of nice fresh out there this morning!
