Our operations team have been farming snow to keep the slopes in good condition with a colder spell coming on over the weekend so who knows, things might hold on a bit longer!

Bluebird Saturday on the 'Gorm. The weather won't be as nice on Sunday, but surface conditions should loosen up across the mountain as the freezing level nudges up on Sunday to give great spring snow after recent freeze / thaw cycles.
