Blizzard conditions rolled in this morning, delivering over 12cm of fresh snow with even more still falling! It has transformed the village into a winter wonderland overnight with temperatures dipping to -1.8 degrees. Our first snowfall for 2026!  

A soft blanket of white coats the mountain, with flakes still falling and adding to the magic by the minute. There’s nothing quite like the first proper snowfall, the crisp air, snow covered rooftops, and that unmistakable buzz across the resort as winter starts to make itself known. 

While it’s still too early to say what this means for the season ahead, it’s a pretty exciting glimpse of what’s to come, with Opening Weekend on Saturday 6 June just over two months away.
