What’s happening today
Annupuri Ski Ground will be great this morning and always enjoy a early morning Annupuri gondola ride up the mountain and a fast long ride all the way back down to the bottom of the ski ground with friends.Champion and Dynamic and Junior are always fun runs and if the sun stays out and softens the snow venturing out Gate 7 may be worth a shot.
Snowflakes
It was only -4°c this morning but it felt much colder for some reason….couldn’t help but notice how light and dry the snow was – the flakes just blew off my windscreen without a trace of frost.
