Daylodge.

Can cut over to the daylodge glades. Some fresh tracks achieved here

Traverse. Fences way below.

Flat Gunbarrel. Chicken Gully is wide too as an alternative route

Cas. Left side of the tow going down was very strugied

Lady so wide. Part of the East Lady skiable but scoured below the M2 so access will only be from the upper / mid Lady

Guess the time.. Yes as is often the case, the sun appeared to the top of the mountain during the hour after the lifts shut. Pister in action on the Lady

Looking over the the East wall of the Ciste from the top of the Daylodge. Looks loaded.

Both sides of the M1 poma were skiable and good.

Fiacaill, quite a lot of drifted powder here.

M1 side track. Wide and no rocks showing, even on the lower section

M1

Heavy snow shower on the last run of the day down the Lady

Just as well the train wasn't doing mid station stops- be a bit difficult to get to the loading platform.

Well done Cairngorm. The road was black all the way up

Amazing cover on the trees beside the Sugarbowl bend

:: Snow Conditions & Info
Only the Cas side was open but all the runs had pisted powder that was lovely to ski. There's not much opportunity for off piste as many areas between the runs are scoured. Part of the East Lady had cover and it was was a mixture of firm wind packed powder, strugi, hard ice and some drifted powder.
The Lady is so wide , all the lower fences have gone. By the end of the afternoon the entry to it was a bit scraped because it was the only way in today.
Top marks to all the Cairngorm team for bashing out the drifts and making the pistes lovely.
