Sunny, warmest day I've experienced so far this year, very little wind..Fantastic.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Still fantastic cover on the mountain with wonderful spring bumps appearing as the day wore on. I would personally rate the conditions 5 and could not drag myself away from the Lady, M1, M1 sidetrack, and Aonach but I appreciate that not everyone rates spring bumps as highly as I do and some folk were finding it heavy going as the snow softened in the sun

Entry into the Aonach is becoming a bit rocky, but once in the skiing is great. A huge mogul line developed down Ryvoan. There is a bit of heather on the traverse out from the Ciste and two ski carries on the way out from Corrie Laogh Mor.

The Cas headwall was getting plenty of action and rave reviews. Certainly Corrie Laogh Mor headwall was a wonderful way to end the day despite the traverse out to it being rather sticky.

It was not busy. No queues for the West Wall or Cas, one or two rows at times for the M1 and the Ptarmigan was busy with the Dawn of the Shred competition which looked superb with some amazing action

Don't think I have had such a wonderful sunny spring bump skiing day since about 2001
