A dry day with bright spells on Wednesday after around 4 inches of snow fell overnight on the upper mountain. This gave fresh tracks on most of the upper runs and groomed machine packed fresh snow on Happy Valley.

All of the upper mountain runs were seeing action with the Flypaper open, but it was pretty firm underneath the fresh once it fell into shadow in the afternoon. The Main Basin and Happy Valley were good for more confident intermediates, but Etive Glades was the pick of the upper blues, with various options to drop in and out of Etive Glades at various points. Easy return to the Main Basin T-bar to lap the upper half.

All mid-mountain runs were open giving the full spectrum of green to black terrain, the top leg of Mugs Alley is in decent shape, so for the longest green run head up the Poma and Cliffhanger and take in the top of Mugs Alley and Rankin's Return - there is a short break of a few metres at the Low Road, but you can shuffle over this and it was well worth it for sweet spring snow turns.

Everything else is complete bar the Low Road on the Plateau, but with Old Mugs Alley / Access Return, Plateau Run and Rankins Return providing routes back to the Poma and top of the Access Chair it still all connects together well for full mountain laps.

A blustery Thursday with some heavy snow showers, but bright spells developing between the showers for the afternoon as high pressure builds in to take control for Friday through the weekend.

Grab the suncream and catch some classic spring snow riding on pretty much the full mountain this weekend with all available uplift ready to run including the Rannoch Button on the upper mountain.
