Quite mild and very little wind. Clear lower down with the odd patch of sun. Higher up visibility came and went. Snow showers late afternoon then it cleared at all levels about 4.45pm
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Spent the morning mainly on the Daylodge which had lovely spring snow and no queues.

Then it was mainly the Ciste gully which had excellent soft snow and you skied straight on the West wall poma. Gully 1 and 2 opened when visibility improved but accessing them was quite icy.

Spent late afternoon on the Lady and M1 as the M1 poma queue had gone by then . M1 was the best of these with lovely slightly crispy easy to turn in snow.

The mist cleared from the top bowls just as the night skiing was about to start and the pistes were superb as the surface had firmed up a little.
Was tempted to stay but headed down by a lovely M2 just before it was roped off.
