Sun, mist & snow. Windier on the summit but very pleasant once you dropped into the corries.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Wonderful deep powder in the back corries. You could ride all the way back to the daylodge.

Loads and loads of untracked powder which you can easily have to yourself if prepared to hike out.

Fiona made it round twice on her blades(not gracefully) , got a few odd looks from other riders. Fiona has since concluded that they were perhaps not the best choice of kit for today : )

Packed / groomed powder elsewhere. Didnt see much of it, far more interesting out back.

All 3 of us still managed a core shot each.

Would have been nice to have seen the rob roy tbar open. They'd definitely had a piste basher up it.

Poor viz down to the bottom of the goose in the morning, lifting by lunchtime to reveal the Ben in the background. Snow showers threatened far off in the afternoon, but never arrived.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Excellent conditions on and off piste with freshies to be found everywhere in the morning. Great fun popping from the piste, over the walls of snow and into knee deep powder.
