Missed report yesterday - apologies - but did get on the mountain for a run and the humidity in the air caused the ridden in snow to turn partially icy. Untracked snow was sticky and slightly heavy, one of the worst days seen all season in my opinion.

Light rain started falling at the base around noon, sleet up top and by evening the light rain had well and truly set in.

Weather this morning seems stable but things are still overcast and snow forecast for today hasn't begun to fall yet. Hopefully it does come and its significant as its expected to be clear Monday and Tuesday before snowing again Tuesday night through Friday with colder temperatures.

Today's report uses yesterday's snow base though the rain has likely dropped the pack down further.
