Upper Lady. Firm base with sugary snow on top

Lower Lady. Despite the stream at the side, the piste was firm with soft snow on top

At its busiest the M1 had about 5 rows but they moved quickly

Gunbarrel. Plenty of soft snow to enjoy

Cas . Good sport

105 Plenty of soft snow

Traverse. Still wide and deep

Standing classes had to cross the stream to get to the Ptarmigan bowl

Stream by the polar express tow.

M1 . Closed

Ptarmigan traverse still has plenty of snow but with the wind preventing the upper tows running it was only explored by non skiing visitors.

Cas tow and the Lower Slopes. Walk on Burnside required to reach the car park

Cas.

:: Snow Conditions & Info
Good skiing on the Lady, Traverse, Cas, 105, Fiacaill, Gunbarrel. Runs became sugary as they were skied. There were even small bumps forming on the entry to the Lady beside the M1 poma.
Ptarmigan Bowl seems to have suffered most in the thaw with a stream appearing beside the Polar Express.
Too windy for the top tows but although there were queues for the M1 and Cas they moved quickly.
