Such a contrast to the bluebird day yesterday, up to our necks in snow now, difficult to get around, and it seems to be getting heavier... big respect to those driving today, its very tricky, and possibly almost snowchain time... I'm out tomorrow, if this continues (and it forecast to Mad) gonna be an interesting drive to the airport, even to collect the guests to return home, bloody great hill up to Katerina....

Still snowing heavily - a few photos on facebook. Conditions on the runs very good, but Sitnyakovo Express is a bit patchy in places....

Thanks Manc Tom...snow does look fine but it's actually settling heavily.... Some of the slopes were pisted earlier but due to the snow, it's pretty tough going as it's just powdery again...!!

All good here and just want everyone to hurry up and get here....!!!
