10 cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. Very cold and white morning.
Well, it hasn’t snowed much as we expected yet, but it’s dumping now!! All rocks might be covered now:) Coldest morning in the season so far, better to wear one or two, maybe three more layer today. Don’t forget your face mask. Strong wind might stop the top lifts and gondola operation, please check the retest lift status.
This wild weather will continue and even wilder tomorrow. All mountain could be closed down tomorrow. Please stay warm and safe for next few day.
