Time to head for home. - Moon over Carn Aosda.

Cluny opened up later, a well-kept secret for queue busters! : )

Twilight over white mountains as far as can see.

Butcharts at end of day, peaceful last run.

Glas Maol at end of day, would be good to get it opened up.

Early bird gets the turns! Start of a Bluebird day.

Cairnwell plastered in snow but chair not running yet.

Cairnwell runs from Sunnyside

Butcharts in the sun, from Sunnyside top.

Arrival! - What a prospect as we parked up.

Perfect. - Blue sky, cold dry snow, not a breath of wind to spoil it. - Perfect. (was -10c at car by end of day...we hung about till light was gone)
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Sunnyside, Butcharts, Carn Aosda & Cairnwell runs open at start of day. - Cluny & Tom Dearg in afternoon.

Mostly fine dry packed powder snow, with excellent grip & stability. Range of off piste at the fringes, including Carn Aosda. Occasional scraped icy patch, but nothing major.

A truly outstanding day of blue skies and lovely snow. When Cluny opened, it was the most lovely packed powder snow. A pleasure to glide along and roll with the wee natural bumps.

Floodlight skiing on Claybokie after dark. - We got last lift up & walked to summit of CarnAosda, before making a twilight descent. - Just wonderful.

Early in the day I closed my eyes...and all I could hear was laughter and joy. - Days like this linger for ever.
