FL 2400' dropping after 1: 30pm. Low clod clearing to good visibility and long suint spells after lunch. Light northerly wind. A light flurry of snow in the morning.

The 10cms of snow on Saturday morning was well forecast across the central Pennines. northerly snow away from the coast of North England is quite rare but a good direction for YM. The ground is saturated however so the snow did not ski well until posted. Also the wet snow tended to stick to the piste badger so plenty of bare patches. Such is pennine skiing. Most of the main run and part of the impaler were posted. The surface was challenging but improved during the day as temps dropped.

A bit of pea soup at the beginning but then the sun came out to give a lovely crisp day, just below zero at most levels.

Snow was fresh and firming up at the bottom, soft and fluffy at the top. This is not a good report to compare the runs as conditions change very quickly this early in the season, it is just to get the juices flowing for what we hope is to come. A nice walk up to the top and ski down to the mid station then combat down to the car park.
