:: Snow Conditions & Info
Snow softened as the day progressed but was great on the M1 all day. Somehow ( no doubt due to the wonders of the pisting team ) the very narrow lower section leading to the poma had better cover and less rocks showing than on Tuesday, although the poma area is now bare. It was again my favourite run of the day

Still great cover above the gunbarrel on the Cas but it was a bit slower today

The boxes rails and jumps in the top bowl are due to be worked on when it cools down and the east side of above the ptarmigan was being pisted as we walked up to the summit at the end of the day.

The snow was quite heavy and sticky off piste and there are rocks lurking on the ski into Sneachda from Fiacaill a Choire Chaise.

Another amazing May day
