Despite a strong and gusty wind restricting uplift (with the DLP, Ptarmigan, Ciste, Polar Express and West Wall Poma off) a good days riding with the whole mountain available except the top half of the Ptarmigan Bowl.
Ciste Gully was out of the wind and giving a fantastic run of 1800ft vertical from the Ptarmigan Restaurant, with superb granular snow in the Top Basin right down the gully. A bit sticky at the bottom of the Aonach for a couple of hundred yards then becoming granular and faster again.
There is a huge sweep of skiable snow on the East Wall far beyond the usual gullies and Laogh Mor was seeing more action today with good granular snow on the Laogh Mor Return which still has a good cover to the car park.
On the Cas side a bit sticky on the less used areas lower down, but elsewhere more granular and spring like snow. Bumps forming skiers left of the Cas T-bar parallel to the Gunbarrel. An extra traverse has been cut higher and flatter above the Fiacaill Traverse which can be used to access higher up in to Sneachda.
All runs remain in great shape, excellent day on Wednesday, but the wind is picking up this evening. Check the latest in the morning, call 01479 861261.
