Warmest day yet. Wall to wall sunshine and very little wind. Perfect !
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Spring snow all over, that was in good shape having crisped up overnight.
The Cas is still full length thanks to the piste team and the gunbarrel moguls are great fun.
The Ptarmigan bowl is ideal for learners and the kicker is still huge
The Lady has good spring snow but access requires walking, and there's a good bit of grass skiing now to link the the upper and mid section. The lower patches are becoming wider apart.
I'd a ski down Ciste Mhearad, then the slope below the Tor then walked round to the headwall. Wonderful way to spend a couple of hours in the morning but for those wanting to tour on the plateau there's little point in reaching it via the ski area as the snow tongue from the Gorm summit to Coire Raibert has gone.
Fantastic day !

Helen .. and the usual diehard suspects!
