re: Rain

If its any consolation, it is hoofing it down with snow at the moment, around freezing in town down to -10 at the top of the mountain...
Consider that it drops a degree approximately for every 1000ft in elevation...
Looking good here, me and Wen will be going up Friday so we'll have a better idea Very Happy
As for forecasts ??? this wasn't Wink

re: Rain

Cheers for the heads up Sam!

Have only ever been skiing once before therefore I am green to say the least when it comes to the old weather predictions. Going boarding this time so hoping for snow more than ever.

Yeah, think I'll just wait now and chill the hell out as at present I am a pain in the arse (my missus can vouch for this, lol).
