Impressive rime ice on the weather station
| |
|
Run from Fiacaill Ridge Poma to Sheiling area . Firm to start but good lower down
| Fiacaill Ridge Poma run. Upper section was best
|
Lady. Nice powder on the east side
| M1 side track. Grippy at start but then it was very scraped and difficult to get an edge on.
|
Lower Fiacaill Ridge run. Upper and lower sections were best
| Lower Daylodge. Not open
|
Aonach . Good cover but slabby near the M2
| Daylodge. Complete and pisted but not open.
|
Upper M2
| Mid M2 broken in several areas.
|
Snow piling going on just above the top of the ptarmigan tow.
| Cover improved around the summit in the past week but very icy. Despite the sun on the summit the plateau was in mist all the while I was there.
|
Cas. Good skiing especially to the RH side of the run where there was powder. Gunbarrel good too.

:: Snow Conditions & Info
Skins on and wandered around closed areas to begin with ;summit, more snow than last week but still has rocks protruding; Marquis Wells nice grippy surface: Top bowls fairly hard; M2 good at top and bottom but broken in several places in the middle; Aonach good cover but slabby in places; Daylodge, complete and pisted.
Then used the lifts to ski the open area ; White Lady very wide but best over to the east Lady side where there was more drifted powder; M1 sidetrack, initially it felt like a good choice with a grippy surface but after a short distance it was scraped and icy. Maybe I was too late in the day skiing it. Cas nice drifted powder especially over to the funicular side ; Fiacaill ridge, grippy to begin with but less so in the mid section . The run from the ridge to the Sheiling run was good. Lower slopes were a bit polished by the end of the day
Cas ,F R poma, Car part T and funicular were running . Too windy for other lifts
Personally a bit too hard in general for me hence the grade 2 but those with sharp edges and more guts would probably have rated it higher. !
