:: Snow Conditions & Info
The kind of day you dream about! Snow falling as you arrive, clearing quickly to give blue skies. Fantastic snow in the Main Basin in particular, Happy Valley and the Wall in great shape too. Occasional scoured area, but rare. Improvements such as the New Mugs Alley (presume that is the name) will be great additions, better snow there than the old Mugs Alley. Snow not as deep on lower slopes, however plateau pretty much complete, some heather showing in a few places.

However it was the upper slopes that just blew us away. I've never skied so much fresh snow as I did this Sunday morning. No real queues to speak of, all uplift going well.

Glencoe was the place to be if you didn't want to be more than 2 mins in a queue, and enjoy making fresh tracks in brand new deep snow
