Most Terrain has Good Cover.

4

Thin cloud cleared to give blue skies, cold dry and calm conditions. - Perfect afternoon, once again.

Snow frozen at all levels.

All pisted runs well-filled. Some are best in years, especially Sunyside, Meall Odhar & Glas Maol. Due to snow arriving mostly from East this season. - The Sunnyside runs are fence-deep and possible to ski over fences in places not usually possible.

Popular runs geting polished & scraped by traffic, but enough loose snow to get turns. Best snow by far was in the short black direct gully off Glas Maol. Good soft snow, and a choice of lines including a cornice drop for those who like that sort of thing.

Off-piste is a kinda meaningless term at moment, since the cover is so wide, you can take different lines on the fringes of all marked pistes.

Few tourers about too, and there's scope on all neighbouring hills.

Maryhill CID were running an udercover operation on Meall Odhar, and DI Robbie Ross was spotted at the Cafe. - Cover broken, he asked if we had any intel on a guy codenamed GrowWild. : P

Thanks to DonaldM who put in a couple of hours scoping the slopes for best snow, before I arrived and benefited from his knowledge. - Good sport & good company for the day.

HTH & DonaldM...oh, and DI Ross.
