Sun all day. Windy at first then dropped.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Very busy on the mountain - Ptarmigan & Ciste tows long queues all day.
Coire Cas best skiing - 105, Cas & Gunbarrel good cover & soft snow. Uplift via M1 Poma (OK on Monday) to avoid train queues at Sheiling.
Fiacaill Traverse broken then hard snow with lots of holes from climber's boot prints.
M1 Race piste broken (skis off & walk twice) before exiting to 105.
White Lady do-able but don't bother, lots of walking.
Return to Coire Cas carpark via West Wall was a bad move - icy and patchy then a long walk out.

cool in the shade, warm in the sun, odd windy patch but nothing to serious. overall very nice day.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
In the shade was a bit icy, in the sun nice soft snow! best riding was on mugs ally, and the bunny run, although the plateau run was also good fun, esp watching people fall trying to clear the muddy patch at the bottom!

Little tae no wind in the morning then the odd gust in the afternoon. I'm guessing the freezing level was't too high today,(but thats a guess).. Very sunny in the sun obviously, once oot it and yer close tae baltic.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
The cover is still great after this thaw, today after a drop in temps the mountain was rock hard first thing then some runs softened up as the day went on and the more use they got. The Plateau was a sugery soft playground, though broken near the bottom with very short walk to the poma, or it can be cleared with enough speed!

Plenty of lines to be made mid mountain and the top still has good width a depth, the haggis trap is still missing!!

Bright and sunny all day,cold in the morning,mild in the afternoon, freezing at sea level first thing rising to above summit during the day.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Snow cover incomplete on most runs but Goose still quite good with one run on the summit as well, but summit run narrow.The turfer driver was working hard PM to bring in enough snow for a second summit run which was near complete by 3.30pm.Still possible to ski back to top station via the link which is now down to 1 meter wide with a short walk from the burn to the snow and down whats left of the Rabbit run or download on the chair.The snow was rock hard all day on the Goose and not much fun but challenging (or punishing).
