:: Weather Conditions
Sunny spells, above freezing. Wind picked up and eventually shut the tows
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Ptarmigan Bowl and Fairway were on offer and they had well pisted lovely spring snow.
I had a walk up Marquis Wells as there was very little snow to skin on. Below the tor there are still good patches of snow. The run to the ENE has good depth, but skinning back up was difficult due to the very strong cross wind.
I avoided the funicular down as I wanted to see what the cover was like.Again lovely spring snow. Traverse was skiable, break in the upper 105 , Cas was complete to the gunbarrel. Upper gunbarrel still has a complete surface but you can hear the stream underneath which becomes visible lower down !
We need snow !!
