Light dusting of 10cm yesterday morning and was lightly snowing up top when lifts opened at 8:30am.

The snowfall picked up and was moderate throughout the day, adding plenty more pow in the backcountry. It was still snowing when I left yesterday afternoon.

Bluebird this morning and set to stay clear till this evening when lift snow is expected and the next big snowfall is due Saturday. Looks pretty formidable and set to start from morning.
