:: Weather Conditions
Bright blue skies, no wind, and wall-to-wall sunshine up until about 2pm. Then some light cloud but still excellent light. Cloud came in at 4pm with strengthening snow showers (that's good isn't it?).
Lower levels below freezing at 9am then rising to about +2?C mid-afternoon. Upper slopes stayed soft but frozen all day.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Total excellent conditions all day. I like the firm snow first thing in the morning - forces you to get into "edge mode" right away. As the snow softens by about 10am-11am you are all loosened up and skiing to perfection all over the mountain.
Cas, Gunbarrel, White Lady, Aonach, Fiacall Ridge (pm) all very good. Exceptional skiing on Ciste and entry Gullies.
I slipped off the top of the Fiacall Ridge Poma early in the afternoon and found some big areas of virgin champagne powder on the Fiacall Side Slope leading into the lower Shieling run. Great fun but, sorry folks, I used it all up ;-)
Here's a couple of videos for you to enjoy -

Hopefully I can get to the slopes tomorrow morning - it is snowing really heavy here in Conon Bridge and I'm concerned the roads won't be ploughed : -0 Jist masel' : -)
