:: Weather Conditions
Calm, some sun with occasional very thin mist drifting. Didn't feel cold but maybe that was just skiing down to catch each train without stopping !
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Pisted frozen snow on a hard base. Three options from top to middle due to a great effort from the outdoor team.
The Lady which has had a pisted route made right down and entry is by turning right at the top of the traverse. Being steeper it required sharp edges to be able to relax.
Traverse, top of 105, mid Cas( which I forgot to photo) Gunbarrel. Gunbarrel hadn't had much traffic so again sharp edges helped.
As above but by the zig zags . This was the most relaxing enjoyable run as traffic had softened the snow and with the gentler gradient there was less need for edge control.
Short walk from the bottom zig to catch the funicular but by any of these routes there was time to catch each train - they were running every 15 mins.
A snow cannon was on beside the Ptarmigan and snow was being moved about.
Had swithered whether to go or not but really glad I did.
