Looking over to the Aonach.

Fiacaill Traverse. Grippy by the afternoon although I was told it had been hard and rutted first thing

Fiacaill run. Good

M2 still needs a good bit of snow before it can open. However I've been told the Ciste Gully is complete and I saw the West Wall poma being tested today

Lady firm base with loose snow on top. Fast

Gunbarrel- Lovely and very well filled

Box forming part of the shred in the Cas

Rail

Where has the new fencing gone ? Completely covered at the take off on the Ciste tow

M1 firm but enough grip and loose snow to make it enjoyable

Entering the Lady from the east of the old Lady tow. Lovely surface -dusting of fresh on a firm roughened base

Fairway. Well pisted

M1 at the end of the day

:: Snow Conditions & Info
Was one of those days when I was never 100% confident that each turn was going to hold because the snow was pretty hard, but every turn did thanks to the great pisting that had roughened the base enough to give grip. There was loose soft snow on top too - most in the Cas but enough on the Lady and M1 to make for an enjoyable day.
Off piste varied. A slight cover of fresh made the approach to the Lady to the east of the old tow line lovely, but at mid mountain level it was harder and rutted in places.
