Snow Reporter Comments: The warm before the storm!
It looks like we are in for a pretty wild ride over the next couple of days, but the end result should be impressive and leave us in a great position by mid-week. The wind has picked up to a very strong northerly, the fog has moved in and there is the occasional spot of rain this morning. The current temp is 2 degrees, heading for a top of 3 degrees.
The radar isn't showing anything too threatening at the moment, and the forecast is calling for most of the dampness to move in overnight, so it should not be too wet out there today. However, I expect the wind will play havoc with the more exposed lifts, so check the status before heading toward your preferred option.
Although the weather is pretty rugged, I expect the snow will riding and skiing well. It's got that slightly damp surface which should make for good consistent turns on the groomed runs this morning. The heavily trafficked off piste areas should also be ok, but the less ridden slopes are probably best avoided until we have some fresh snow on top. Get out there for a few exhilarating laps in some real mountain weather!
Cheers Bill.
