This is more like it.

Continuous snow from 22 December through to today, 05 January, has transformed conditions on the mountain.
In this time period we've had 254cm of snow, the majority being light and dry.

A major wind event on New Year's Eve closed most of the mountain and this was followed by a warming event that turned the pow to porridge.

But this has now settled and the moisture has been sucked out courtesy of the cooler days and nights.

The snow continues to fall and face shots are on the immediate horizon.
