:: Weather Conditions
Strong WNW wind helped me walk and then skin up from the top ZigZag. Visibility wasn't great higher up due to drifting snow but while I was in the top bowl it calmed down a bit and the sun made a brief appearance.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Snow almost to carpark level but good cover from the mid station up beside the fences. Ciste Bowl has accumulated a fair bit and you could virtually ski more or less anywhere in it, but Cas side runs are still too thin.
Huge drifts on the traverse, like a mini Alpine range , and enough on the 105 and zig zags to ski down on. The snow had a slight crust to it although in the drifts it was soft powder. A fun afternoon.
