 View up the Ciste Gully from the Laogh Mor bridge. A case for the WW Chair beautifully made by nature.

 High on the East Wall, good granular spring snow here, quite crunchy still high up.
|  Going up the M1 Poma, still little sign of the tow fences.

 Skier heads for the foot of the White Lady, Sheiling Gully & Home Road still complete.

A largely bright day under part cloudy skies with some decent sunny spells and generally good light. Firm packed but grippy in the Top Basin, lower down some softer snow but also areas of excellent granular spring snow.
Overall still great riding to be had, all runs are complete the vast majority with at great full cover and still extensive tracts of ride anywhere cover on the mid and upper mountain.
Carpark Runs and Daylodge Run retain good cover, Fiacaill Ridge fences narrow, while line of old Fiacaill Tow has really good granular spring snow. Daylodge Glades continues to offer good spring snow also.
WWP had no queue, so was an option to use the DLP and WWP in combination to access the East Lady, Lady and M1. Reason for the quiet WWP is that the Poma can not be regained on snow from the Ciste Gully, West or East Wall, on Sunday better to head on down the Ciste Gully to the carpark and use the shuttle bus. Lower Gully OK except for one small section just below the diagonal fences, but most were favouring this option over the Poma, or sticking to the Cas side.
Great on piste sport for all abilities and still extensive off-piste steeps, the East Lady and East Wall were skiing beautifully on Sunday afternoon, still quite soft rather than true granular spring snow on the East Lady, but smooth and enough gradient that it made for sweet turns.
For a less steep adventure, the Laogh Mor Return remains complete to the Ciste Carpark giving a 3mile run and 2000ft of
vertical from the top of the Ptarmigan Tow.
