Mostly Skiable - Some Areas Thin/Narrow

4

Bluebird morning clouded over with high cloud after lunch. No wind to speak of, temperature a few degrees above freezing.

Amazingly the Poma track is still complete, and keeps you on your toes with it's undulations. Mugs Ally is comlpete to the bottom of the Cliffy but narrow in places. Everything above that is in great shape for mid April.

Main Basin remains huge, Spring run is wide, although watch out for the crevass half way down. Happy Valley is complete at the top and you can cut across the Main Basin T-bar track to access the bottom half of Rannoch Glades. If you're using the traverse from the top of the Cliffy then Mugs Alley can be avoided by heading through the remains of the park which has far better snow.

Snow had set firm over night and softened quickly on the pisted areas. Other areas took until lunchtime to fully soften, although as temperatures rise over the next few days this will probably happen earlier in the day.

All the plateau runs are broken so you finish off your day with a stroll back across to the top of the Access Chair.

Great to see the 'Coe rewarded for their efforts with a car park at least half full.
