:: Surface Conditions (out of 5)4
:: Weather ConditionsBroken overcast with sunny patches, wind strong in morning but dropped by the time skiing got going.
:: Snow Conditions & InfoBelow freezing all day. Full snow cover - about 5m burying the tow and the engine hut. 2 hours of sterling work by members with many shovels dug trenches for the up track and the returning hangers. Definitely earned the turns today!
:: RidersSnow conditions variable - boilerplate where scoured, powder where dumped. Many people lapped Sun Down after the short walk up to Raise summit. About 450m (1500ft) vertical available today: Raise summit down to Keppel Cove, about 5 mins from car park. NeilH and 50+ other members

:: Surface Conditions (out of 5)5
:: Weather ConditionsNice day, sunshine, blue skies, cloud and occassional snow showers. A bit windy from time to time. To be honest prob nicest day I've been up this season. 0 Deg C in car park on arrival
:: Snow Conditions & InfoHuge amount of snow, everywhere. Never seen anything like it at the Coe. Lovely soft snow on the Wall, Canyon, much of Thombosis. Some areas that were a bit hard/battered by wind, but more than made up for by the lovely soft snow and windblown freshies (even in the afternnoo). Some areas I'd never really skied down before (like between the Wall T Bar and the Canyon - I've never really considered that a run before but went down it a few times today). Main basin still out of action - huge amt of snow needing cleared - apparently will take a few days (well, that was the gossip on the hill). Never seen the Coe cark park so busy before, arrived at 8: 45am when there is usually loads of space but it was tight this morning
:: RidersI'll have a video together in the next day or two, along with more photos Some photos included - more on Flickr in next day or two (special shout out to the guys in the Argyll Snowboard Collective who gave me the chance to catch a good range of actions shots) Stephen, Callum
