Excellent Cover

4

Sunshine all day. Very light winds increasing slightly later but only noticable on exposed ridges. Cold, dry air. iIn the sun in the middle of the day it felt like skiing in a T shirt would be possible

Fantastic cover, depth and consistency of snow accross the mountain. Etive Glades and Happy Valley were wide and mostly firm and grippy with few icy patches. However i did only ski over that way once. Maybe i could have found softer bits. Main basin wide and deep with a fraser made kicker above a rock out crop. Got some fantastic airtime. A large rainbow box that looked much more mellow than last time i saw it with more snow built up around it and a c box. On the plateau a ~15 foot gap jump was built - amazing fun and Fraser and Charlie built a table following it. Also amazing fun. I encourage jibbers and freestylers to hit glencoe. Fraser and Charlie have freedom to build what they want with two piste bashers and are very open to suggestions

Now for flypaper area and accross to east ridge: Awesome. Still plenty of fresh steep lines and drops to ski with little worry of hitting rocks.
