Broken overcast with sunny patches, wind strong in morning but dropped by the time skiing got going.
Below freezing all day.

Full snow cover - about 5m burying the tow and the engine hut. 2 hours of sterling work by members with many shovels dug trenches for the up track and the returning hangers. Definitely earned the turns today!
Snow conditions variable - boilerplate where scoured, powder where dumped. Many people lapped Sun Down after the short walk up to Raise summit.
About 450m (1500ft) vertical available today: Raise summit down to Keppel Cove, about 5 mins from car park.

Nice day, sunshine, blue skies, cloud and occassional snow showers. A bit windy from time to time. To be honest prob nicest day I've been up this season. 0 Deg C in car park on arrival

Huge amount of snow, everywhere. Never seen anything like it at the Coe. Lovely soft snow on the Wall, Canyon, much of Thombosis. Some areas that were a bit hard/battered by wind, but more than made up for by the lovely soft snow and windblown freshies (even in the afternnoo). Some areas I'd never really skied down before (like between the Wall T Bar and the Canyon - I've never really considered that a run before but went down it a few times today). Main basin still out of action - huge amt of snow needing cleared - apparently will take a few days (well, that was the gossip on the hill). Never seen the Coe cark park so busy before, arrived at 8: 45am when there is usually loads of space but it was tight this morning

I'll have a video together in the next day or two, along with more photos

Some photos included - more on Flickr in next day or two
(special shout out to the guys in the Argyll Snowboard Collective who gave me the chance to catch a good range of actions shots)

The weather was perfect today. There was a spell of flat light early afternoon but that passed quickly. I have no idea what the freezing level was but the car said it was 0.5 degrees in the carpark about 3pm.

The coverage is the best i've experienced in Scotland for a very long time. The available space to play in is extensive and there are fresh tracks to be made if you like that sort of thing.

Sunny, bit of cloud and a bit of wind.

Excellent, ski anywhere. Don't worry about snow fences as most are buried.

It was one of those days, light winds over most of the mountain, only the exposed tops had drifting but not bad at all. Blue sky and sunshine. Gloves and hat off on lower slopes. Hat on at top.

I don't normally give a 5 rating for surface conditions but today was one of those days top to bottom. Carving the white Lady was spectacular and the beginners were loving the lower slopes. If you cant ski today then its time to take up tiddlywinks.
