Welcome


Although "honest" and "snow reports" have become an oxymoron in recent years, here you will find and accurate and real description of the conditions each week. If we've had some wind and the tops of the runs are a bit crusty then we'll tell you. In the same breath if we say it's excellent - we mean that you should have been there to see the grins.

Snow Conditions

Although "honest" and "snow reports" have become an oxymoron in recent years, here you will find and accurate and real description of the conditions each week. If we've had some wind and the tops of the runs are a bit crusty then we'll tell you. In the same breath if we say it's excellent - we mean that you should have been there to see the grins.
