Heading down towards the M1 poma. Lovely powder but sharks teeth lurking . At you own risk

The corner of the traverse and 105

Upper Cas. Good depth here but very soon the rocks were protruding

Looking up from the base of the Ciste tow

Sun and mist on the Fairway

Lovely powder

Ski patrol 1 shovelling snow on to the Ciste track

The Ciste bowl. Freshies to be had

Looking up the Ciste when the sun was out

Polar express was being well used.

:: Snow Cover
Limited Terrain Complete/Open.

:: Weather Conditions
A mixture of sunny spell, snow showers and mist, with a wind blowing from the north that varied in strength. Best visibility was probably around midday.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Fairway had pisted powder that was topped up in the showers. All other areas were unpisted with powder. I reckon a 3-4

The Ciste tow and polar express were running with good tracks, as a result of the shovelling efforts of ski patrol

Freshies to be had in the Ciste bowl although the Northerly wind slowed you down. To the Lady side of the West Wall poma was another good area for freshies.

Four of us explored the Traverse and Cas at the end of the day as an alternative to the funicular although this was not officially open.
Lots of unconsolidated powder on the traverse and upper Cas but sketchy lower down
