:: Weather Conditions
Light snow showers (!) most of the day, gradually becoming clearer as the day went on. Flat light early on, but improved throughout the day, with visibility improving likewise. Estimate FL about 1600m.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Still excellent cover on upper runs: flypaper, spring run, rannoch glades, main basin, happy valley all complete. Lower slopes have less available, with a few incomplete. 5-10cm of fresh snow overnight on top of previous day's frozen moguls made for difficult conditions early on, but softened up as day progressed.

:: Weather Conditions
Mostly overcast with light snow flurries thoughout the day! Weather clearing up around mid afternoon - blue skies and sunshine! Very light wind.

Freezing level rising during the day, fresh snow had been lying to below the top of the access chair in the morning.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
First thing in the morning was interesting... Deep fresh snow (5-6 inches at the top) hiding frozen mogul fields in the main basin and happy valley. But these runs improved, softened and were chopped up as the day wore on.

Conditions on the Spring Run were excellent around mid day, soft (but not too soft) fresh snow.

Lower runs patchy, but it was possible to pick a route down to the cliffy (via Mugs Alley) with a sort strol to the cafe, and possible to ski most of the way back to the access chairlift via the plateau poma track (with minor rock hopping).

*There is still stacks of snow up there and the area is only closing for the season due to a lack of skier numbers! There were only 50 skiers today... and only 24(!!!) last monday!*
