Afternoon only as road closed until midday.
Cloud base stayed at Shieling level all afternoon. Very poor visibility in cloud.
Not much wind.
Freezing level below Glenmore Lodge.

Fantastic powder, shame we couldn't see it!
Attempts to improve deep powder technique in no vis led to numerous falls. In places, hard to get up due to depth of soft snow (ski pole pushed below surface and still no bottom).
Shame Ciste side was not open, but kept entertained with deep powder on White Lady & M1, light relief on Upper Cas and Gunbarrel for easier skiing.

Clear blue sky and sun. Around -6 on the roadside at 9am and -4 at 5pm.

Extensive terrain, 4 or 5 seperate pisted runs ( the tow line and between the fences counting as one run for this report) and another 2-3 un pisted along continous bands of deep snow holding in gullies and depresions. Went to the far side of wire fence for the first time. Had seen cover inside the fence but someone else got to it before I got back up the run.

2-3 snow kites, one speed flier and an auto gyro.

Numerous jump spots created on deep banks of drifted snow away from the tow line runs.
Queues - about 15min max at midday. Friday was the quiet day!

Cloudy in the morning with a cold wind, clear and sunny in the afternoon, wind dropped as well. Freezing at all levels

Excellent, great cover and lots of fresh tracks available off piste, the pictures will pretty much tell the story.

Very cold in the morning with a strong wind at the top which delayed running the summit tow till 12 ish when the wind dropped the cloud lifted,light improved for as close as you will get to a perfect afternoons skiing in Scotland !!!!

At Aonach Mor today the snow was plentifull with wide cover to the front and end of the hill providing good off piste in various locations. The Goose and Warrens provided good sport. Out west was reported to be good as indeed was the Rabbit. Flight was in great shape and provided great skiing after lunch with many also skiing off piste directly down the opposite side of Warrens tow from flight. The Nid Wall was very wide and although the entry was roped off provided good sport for the few who limbo'd it under the string, it was quite icy at the top dropping onto pockets of soft lower down to catch the unwary (see pics) All in all its never quite Alpine at Aoanah Mor but today was certainly one of the closest, just dont expect much untracked stuff Sunday, we tanned it all today!!!!!!!! But there certainly should be some great skiing.
For back coire junkies there is a fair bit of snow right to the bottom of brokenheart but its currently a CAT 4 with a lot waiting to drop so best let it consolidate for a while yet!!!!! there is plenty elsewhere.
HAPPY SKIING !!!!!!!!!!
