No new snow overnight again, making it about 4 days now since we last had some snowfall on the mountains here. Hey, come back here! We had a fabulous run up until then though so overall we can't complain, especially if more snow is just around the corner. There might be some light snow fall later on today/tonight and perhaps again tomorrow but it doesn't look like it will be anything significant. Temperatures are still rather mild.

Make a note for early Wednesday as the beginning of a run of at least a few days of decent snowfall in the area, with things getting colder before then early in the week. Hopefully we will soon be back into winter mode.

In the meantime, have fun! It's just grey and cloudy really at the moment this morning with fair visibility on the slopes and a temperature of about -1 degree at the base early on.
