Wide cover on the mid section of the Cas. 105 excellent all the way into M1 load area
Top leg of the Zig Zags, all four legs and Chicken Gully complete with good cover for avoiding the Gunbarrel.
Private Motorway on the direct route on to the White Lady by the T-bar line.
View down the Traverse into Coire Cas, banked out above the fence line most of the way down.
Looking down a loaded Ciste Fairway, but Ciste Tow very busy Sunday.
Ciste T-bar and Ptarmigan Bowl. Great cover and loads of space for learners.
The West Wall, Aonach Bowl and OverYonder from the traverse into Coire Laogh Mor.
Heading for home by the Laogh Mor Return, wide open snow fields in the Coire. Good soft snow top half, but very sticky on the final fenced section back to the Carpark.

All runs remain complete with extensive cover across much of the mountain. A slow thaw continues on the lower slopes, while snow continues to consolidate on the upper and mid mountain levels.
Most runs retain a good depth and width of cover, with all runs to the Cas Carparks complete. Only run suffering in the milder air so far is the Daylodge Poma Run which is getting thin and worn lower down, but still plenty of cover outwith the fences for alternative lines.
Still good cover for steep unpisted sport on the East Lady which was seeing a fair bit of action and once opened also on the West Wall, East Wall and in the Ciste Gully. Lower reaches of Coronation Wall above the Traverse also seeing action. Can drop of the Traverse at various gaps for short cuts.
White Lady is in fantastic shape, quite firm grippy snow with a loosening surface on Sunday giving great sport for advanced riders, can ski out the bottom of the White Lady and head down the Home Road and use the DLP and WWP to return to the top, beat the big M1 Poma queues early to mid afternoon Sunday.
Good skiers/boarders confident in variable off-piste snow can return to the Ciste Carpark on snow, the Aonach Ridge is skiable, though not as extensive cover as last weekend, better cover via Coire Laogh Mor which gives a long sweeping run back to the Ciste Car Park via the Laogh Mor Return fences.
