Mostly Skiable - Some Areas Thin/Narrow

3

A bit breezy, but not too bad. Pretty much had hazy sunshine the whole day. Very warm though, rivers were flowing proper!

Decent base remains throughout pretty much the entire ski area, but looking very patchy. Don't think it would need much more to make superb conditions again. Tiger was wide up top, and fun linking patches together on the bottom half. Thunderbowl was class, run of the day, although it was officially closed. Snow seemed quite hard, but brilliant spring conditions as just the top layer was soft. Rode down the Cairnwell tow uptrack which was complete, but quite icy - rabbit run also almost fully complete. Possible to ski top of cairnwell tow back to the chair, but only just (as in a few cm of width around the bottom), and not recommended as the snow bridges risk collapsing at any moment! Racetrack was fine though.

Sunnyside complete but narrow, uptrack still fine, rest of the area just missing a few bits to be complete. Glas Maol looked good from afar, just the return which needs a bit more! I reckon they could have just about opened it today with a few shovels, but lack of people made it pointless, no hard feelings! Only about 50 cars(?) in parking...

Overall, brilliant day, definately worth the trip from Glasgow, and much better weather! - got more skiing in today than the busy weekend a couple weeks back! Disounted lift tickets were pleasant as well, Thanks Genshee!

Warm and windy gusting 80mph+

Cas and Gunbarrel excellent, Bottom zigzag is getting very thin, White lady is excellent for the most part but requires some heather hopping in the lower section. M1 not reccomended.
