After snow overnight, it is snowing early on but likely to ease off either later this morning or early afternoon. Top lifts do appear to be delayed due to wind. Tomorrow sunshine is forecast for the region so it should be a great morning to check out the first runs of the day.

It appears that the top lifts might be on hold early on due to windy conditions up there. Best to check if you are here for the latest. Interestingly it looks like that despite our snowfall over the last run of days, some snow making machines will be doing their thing today on courses for the event this month.
