We’ve woken to the first good snowfall of the season! A solid 5cm+ at village level since about 10pm last night. Up on the mountain we could expect that to be 10-20cm.
Snow forecast to fall all day today, and that storm is still forecast to come through Thursday and Friday. Things are looking promising for a Saturday opening!

New snow last 24 hours >> 5-10cm
Total snow at base >> 10cm
