It's going to be a great day at the Peak.
Overnight we have picked up about 10cm of dry wintry snow up top and 4cm at base. The day will start with smooth skiing and riding on a groomed base on trail. Off piste will be fun with a few more contours from the springy snow underneath. Patrol will be doing control work this morning to make sure everything is tickety boo.
Weather will clear out to a fine cool day, add a layer as those temperatures are forecast to stay low all day.
