Coronation wall closed due to avalanche risk. Looked slabby

Looking up the Anoach Bowl . Closed today

Looking over to the Ciste Gully from the west wall poma. Planned to open tomorrow, Sunday

White Lady. Great skiing

Upper Lady

Cas. Much better than last week

Fairway and M2

East Lady. Good, but not as good as the pisted runs

Upper M2 shortly after it opened

Lower M2- lovely pisted powder

Daylodge, once on the steeper section great skiing- wind slowed you down on the higher gentle part

Last run at 4.30pm using the Fiaciall Ridge poma to access the zig zags. By then the wind was fierce

Over Yonder

Gunbarrel. Well filled

Ticket checking at the M1 poma

M1 . Grippy base under pisted powder and an up run wind meant you could really power down the run.

:: Weather Conditions
A day of two halves. Sunny, with a moderate wind in the morning then cloud came over and the wind picked up blowing the powder around and reducing visibility.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Wonderful packed pisted powder that in places warranted a grade 5. M1 was particularly good earlier in the day as was the Lady. M2 when it opened was worth three runs although by the last one the wind had stripped off some of the powder and the occasional rock was visible.
Cas is much better than last week although in places the underlying ice did show through.
Good cover down Burnside to the Daylodge.
Despite the delayed start due to the power cut it was an excellent day .
