:: Surface Conditions (out of 5)3
:: Weather ConditionsCold early on then pretty warm with mainly blue skies. light winds freezing level around midstation then rising later.
:: Snow Conditions & InfoSnow very hard and icey until around 2pm. Then suddenly it was really nice spring snow. All runs in great shape when softened. Best part of the day was 3-5pm which was wonderful. Had a great run down Coronation wall for last run of the day and would recommend the hike. Ciste gully was great late on with big high walls for railing as was no 2 gully infact everywhere was great late on!

Glencoe - Sun 20th Apr 2008
Posted by: Neillybeg at 22.57hrs on Sun 20th Apr 08
• View Photos •:: Snow Cover Most Terrain has Good Cover.
:: Surface Conditions (out of 5)3
:: Weather ConditionsPristine morning, blue almost cloudless skies, beautiful white mountain tops against deep blue sky. Cloud began to encroach after midday giving grey skies occasionally clear to allow the sun to be seen. Strong cold easterly wind all day. Visibily excellent at all times. Slight haziness of distant peaks. Freezing level above tops but windchill meant it felt cold at upper levels.
:: Snow Conditions & InfoUpper runs Main Basin, Happy Valley and Spring Run have excellent cover. Flypaper open for daredevils! Middle runs are complete and enjoyable, particularly the Wall. Plateau run is broken but tow track is complete. Hard surface and lumps on upper and middle runs initially, softening as the day progressed.
:: RidersVery few skiiers and boarders, no queues. All necessary lifts operating except when someone didn't hold on to the lower T-bar until it retracted (not us!). In all an excellent day's skiing! Neillymor and Duncybeg

:: Surface Conditions (out of 5)4
:: Weather ConditionsCold start with blue skies and fairly strong wind. Afternoon became very warm providing an amazing day.
:: Snow Conditions & InfoSnow hard early on but still grippy. Soon softened up giving great spring snow especially in back corries. Run of the day for me was Summit which had the best spring snow ive ever experience and you can still ski back to bottom of Braveheart no probs even on a board. Great runs on winger wall too.

Excellent Cover
:: Surface Conditions (out of 5)4
:: Weather ConditionsCold sunny early on with strongish wind. Afternoon was warm and blue skies with lighter winds. Beautiful day!
:: Snow Conditions & InfoFirm early on but soon softened. The back corries softened first and gave great spring snow. The run down summit gully was amazing probably the best spring snow ive experience and you can still ski back to bottom of Braveheart no bother at all. The runs down from Nid Ridge were great too and the traverse back to the alpha is so fast and effortless. One of the best days of the season.
