At least another 30cms of snow fell at the beginning of the week, before the cold weather starting moving in from Siberia. Dense, freezing fog in the valleys has now given way to generally good visibility above 1500 metres, with banks of freezing cloud drifting about the mountain. Now you see the slope, now you don't. It is seriously cold with temperatures not getting above -15°C at 1400 metres, and a northerly breeze that is biting. However, fresh snow plus super cold weather equals some of the best snow conditions that we had for a while. Lower slopes are as good as higher ones and the overall depth of snow that we have on the mountain make this a season to remember.

If you think you are missing out on these conditions and can't get away now, come in April when the spring snow conditions could easily be the best for ages!

Wow -what a season!
