Freezing level below/at car park, blue skies and a little wind at times.

Excellent snow cover everywhere, the odd rock lurking especially on Spring Run, despite hitting a few my bases appear fine. Lots of soft snow around, also windblown crust and some hard areas off piste.

A perfect bluebird day at Glencoe with very clear air and superb visibility, light winds but felt very cold. Freezing level at carpark all day.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Excellent cover of windblown powder snow all over the mountain with just a few icy patches and rocks to avoid. Nicely groomed snow and skier packed powder on the main runs.

Bluebird (or at least the slightly breezy Scottish version!). 40 mph & blowing snow high up with significant wind chill, but didn't detract from a superb day's sport. Visibility & light A1. FL 200m or so first thing. -2 at the end of the day in car park.

Epic cover. Brilliant job from the Glenshee team with machine packed powder everywhere (very few scoured areas which were easy to avoid in the superb light & viz) and enough uplift running to prevent any queues. Glas Maol's centre gully stole the show for me - machine packed powder football pitch wide & wind-blown fresh to be had beyond the pisted area (esp the wall to skier's right which saw quite a bit of action). Cairnwell side was great too - ski anywhere cover. My best days skiing in Scotland for a long time.

Fantastic day at Nevis. East wall of the Goose and Warrens absolutely loaded.
No queues at all.

Light wind, mist above the tunnel when I arrived just before midday but it cleared and was sunny all afternoon. Summit was in cloud until about 3pm.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Fantastic conditions on piste. Everywhere was a delight to ski. M1/M2 probably my top choice but Lady and Cas were superb too.

Off piste the icy base is still rearing it's head. It's visible in places but lurking under what looks like a good cover of powder elsewhere. The East Lady was like that on my one route down- maybe I chose a bad one - but I kept hitting the base so returned to the magnificent real Lady.
Thought I'd cut across the Aonach to the top of the daylodge but the top was so icy that I cut over pretty smartly back to the M2.

Great afternoon
