Looking over from the FR poma. Train did mid stops once the wind put off the tows.

Lady was the choice of many off the last up train

Lady. Great skiing. The strong wind acted like a brake giving more confidence on the hard base

Fairway

Looking up the M2 to the windswept upper slopes

FR poma run was a bit hard at the top but had some fresh lower, though narrow in a couple of places

:: Snow Conditions & Info
Some fresh drifted snow in places has greatly improved the pistes since Saturday when I was last there.
By 12pm only the train was givng access beyond the mid station
The base is generally grippy but sharp edges help!
The Lady was pick of the afternoon with lovely loose snow on the grippy base, and coming round by the old lady tow line was the nicest way to access it as beside the M1 poma it was much more scraped.
M2 was nice next to the Cas side fence where fresh had accumulated.
Didn't try the traverse ,Cas as I reckoned I'd have had great difficulty getting down the traverse with the wind, but the lower gunbarrel from the zig zags was lovely.
FRpoma run was doable, nicest lower down.
