10 cm Overnight!
This is the way to start the working week...if you're lucky enough not to be working! We've had 10 cm of fresh snow overnight and there is the odd flake still in the air this morning. The temperature is a chilly minus 4 and the wind is a light to moderate westerly.
The snow feels great underfoot and should be riding and skiing really well just about everywhere this morning. The groomers will be in top shape, and I reckon there has been just enough for most of the off-piste zones to be back on for shallow but smooth fresh turns. The snow came in wet before drying right out overnight, and with a forecast top temp of only minus 3, it should stay really good all day.
Rug up for the wind chill and get amongst it!
Cheers Bill.
