It's looking a bit patchy on the webcam Looked ok last night at 3pm, but there be holes appearin' now. And there was a big scary bloke on it this morning.
I think the large block is in fact an alien from a few days ago.
Dont be about worried about the snow at the bottom. It will will be fine at the top. The area in front of the web cam often wears a bit thin. I went in 2002 when it had not snowed for 4 weeks. But sking was still Ok.
