There's good news and bad news....first the bad.
It's raining.
The good news is only in town and it turns to snow by the end of the gondola run. Snowed pretty much all day and was still going when I came down the Ski Road at 4.20 pm local time. It's not heavy but it does improve slightly as you go higher.
It's not perfect snow either - more like little polystyrene balls (sp?) that squeak - and it's sticky snow so you need a good shove to get going. I guess there's ...

HOWEVER, overnight has seen a vast improvement across all the areas open. There is still a limited number of pistes to ski and a couple are heavy going by mid afternoon due to over use.
Ski Road is open but heavy going towards the end where it's drizzling - but it's passable.
The situation is not perfect but deffo 100% better than when I arrived.
Last day tomorrow and have skied 5/5 days so far. Stick that up yer wotsit Tamara
Last update tomorrow.
