Excellent. Mostly cool, calm and clear, good visibility until mid afternoon, light got a bit flat later on as breeze brought odd bits of cloud over. Freezing level rising through the day, but I'd guess not much above 0 at any point on the hill.

Excellent cover. As you'd expect with recent weather, snow very wind affected giving a good mix of wind blown fresh, hardpack, sastrugi and the odd scoured spots. Some deeper stashes of wind deposits over a reasonably solid base but stability not great on anything steep or with any sizable accumulation.

Good stuff to be found on most runs - Spring run in particular offering big untracked deposits with off either side after the initial scoured section. Flypaper was closed due to avalanche risk (unsurprisingly, however having said that there were some tracks on it). Main basin good chopped up fresh, Canyon pretty good, Haggis Trap starting to fill up, cover back to the car park on the 'proper' run was pretty bulletproof, great swathes of untracked gentle snow getting to it from between exit to flypaper and spring run way outside plateau poma runs.

Access chair, Cliffy chair and top T bar only lifts on today, some 5min queues on the Cliffy chair at times.

Plenty

Sun AM, overcast/minimal mist PM. FL 350m (Car Park)

Good day, was a bit worried after my first run which was on the weirdly sastrugied Happy Valley, but the skiing to be had in the Main Basin and mid-mountain is amazing!

The mid-mountain cover's so good, it's basically ski anywhere. Top of Spring Run is boilerplate, then a bit of frozen sastrugi, but skis well from midway. Not surprisingly, ice all the way down from the plateau.

Fly Paper & Etive Glades closed.

Only 3 lifts spinning today (Access, Cliffy, Main Basin T), but no queues on the upper mountain. Cliffy backed up occasionally. A lifty was deicing the Wall T-bar so may spin tomorrow/weekend? Rannoch button uptrack has nowhere near enough cover to operate.

Wall & Wall Crossover were the runs of the day for me.

Raise sat just about cloud base whist I was there. About 0c and a fresh westly breeze.

Well the tow has been engulfed by the massif about of snow that has blown in. There's going to have to be a big effort to get the tow dug out, but that's the plan and hopefully will be open on Saturday. Snow is consolidated wind blow powder reaching up to around 4m of depth on the lower half of the main runs.

Very little wind, sunny spells. mist around the summit but clear on all the runs.

Lovely pisted powder on the Ciste, Ptarmigan , and Cas runs and on the lower slopes. Freshies were to be had in the Ciste bowl and west Cas.
Slightly more snow around the summit than on Saturday but I didn't manage to find enough to ski down to Coire Raibert although I think others did.
Brilliant day and although there were a good number of people for a Thursday in the run up to Christmas there were no queues.

mixture of sun and some cloud coming in from the west , bit of a breeze on the plateau.

Great cover , about 4-5 cm of fresh snow , side of CAS was great , CAS and Gunbarrel great too. Gunbarrel was fantastic when I caught it just after the piste basher had come up. Ptarmigan bowl was great too , with plenty of fresh unpisted snow down to the Ciste lift.
