Yesterday we saw a bit of snow try to fall but unfortunately it turned into rain and that has not been kind to the snow on the ground here. It hasn't washed us out, but it certainly has not helped either. I don't have any specific updates on resort news at the moment, with the plans remaining as below.

It's actually pretty cold this morning, and just generally cloudy with fog in places. It might clear later on.

Perhaps we might enjoy some clearer skies and sun for the weekend.

Have a good one wherever you may be.
