… and hallelujah! A nice top up of fresh snow this morning and at last it looks like the season might get underway for real soon.

After two miserable, rainy days we went to sleep last night looking at puddles and praying that we’d wake up to piles of snow. Our prayers were answered with beautiful blizzardy white out conditions this morning. Not much in the way of skiing happening but any snow is better than nothing at this stage.

It’s looking like solid snow and cold temps for much of the coming week so it looks like we might be on the way to starting the season proper in coming days. Fingers crossed!
