It turns out that the forecast last night was being rather optimistic.... there's no new snow on the ground here this morning with a few resorts high up reporting just a sprinkling really. Kagura are saying they got 3-5cm on the upper area, so if you are looking for fresh snow that's the place to go. You might have missed it though if you are going after reading this!

It is just a cloudy morning here. Very light snow falling up high and the mountains are covered in snow for the most part, so it's not a day for magnificent views. Keeping fairly cold compared to the last few days and right now it is 0 degrees in town.

Perhaps today is one for the park, improving technique and just simply having some early March fun. A day on the slopes is better than most other things I can think of, I'm sure lots of you will agree.

Right now it is looking like we will see the sun tomorrow and Monday and Tuesday are still looking likely to bring rain.
