Hello and it is not the nicest of mornings.

A bit of rain, a bit of fog... a generally a bit dull.

Still, us magnificently gnarly folk won't be put off with any of that, will we! Especially once we're loaded up on coffee and toast.

Actually, Annupuri have 'snow' down on their report as of 8am.

It's not warming up too much in the daytime at the moment - not reaching double digit temperatures, so feeling on the colder side - and while tomorrow should be bringing some fairer weather it still shouldn't be warming up.

The top Jumbo Number 4 and King Number 4 lifts are on hold at the start of the day due to poor visibility.

Open courses at Annupuri added below.
