Most Terrain has Good Cover.

Fantastic blue skies and sunshine, what more could one want?! As always though it was pretty windy at the summits

Overall the snow cover was pretty good and the snow itself was pretty good in most areas. However, skiing at the summits was hell as there was a lot of pure boiler plate ice, nae snow! Then suddenly your in a two feet powder dump!

If you did a wee bit of searching around the off-piste areas there was some fantastic powder to be had, just need to take your time accessing it!

Meall Odhar had the best skiing in my opinion today, whilst the runs were officially closed, they were in great nick and most people were using them. The main annoyance was the access pomas, the meall odhar pomas were not running which meant a bit of a trek back to caenlochan, but that's not too bad.

Coire fionn was reasonable after it opened in the afternoon, Glas Maol unfortunately didn't feature, but the piste bashers were up sorting it for the weekend.

Over the other side, the race track was pretty good, really fast skiing on pretty good snow. Buchart's was alright, pretty bare in places, i chose to hike up part of the way to Carn Aosda and skiied down from there, was good snow here.

All in all, i had a great day and would certainly recommend the trip, however, in my opinion if your looking at skiing glenshee this weekend and Glas Maol and the other access lifts aren't open i wouldn't consider going. The queues would be unbearable! I'd head to cairngorm especially after the 24'' dump!!

Me!
