Clear skies last night gave way to a few snow flurries this morning with just a centimeter freshening up the cover up top.

The clouds soon cleared and now we have had some sun making an appearance so it looks like a beautiful day for riding and the groomers will be in fine form to lay down a few carves as they soften up in the sun. It has been a bit icy in the mornings lately though.

Everyone around town is looking forward to a fresh dump of snow and the forecast looks promising. The temperature is forecast to drop over the next couple of days with a freezing level below sea level.

There should be some moderate winds tomorrow with some new snow forecast and there is currently some clouds appearing on the surrounding mountains, which tend to indicate this.
