M1 sidetrack being pisted late afternoon refreshed it and made for a good skiing

Upper Ryvoan. Entry still narrow

M1 side track around midday. Grippy base with plenty to turn on

M1 Lovely

Fairway and M2

Ryvoan grippy and fun but saw a snowboard disappear out of sight down the West Wall. Not a good surface to try and retrieve it - boilerplate!

Winchcat in action on the Ciste gully

:: Snow Conditions & Info
Full marks to the pisting team that created a good surface on most of the hill. Apart from on the Cas in places the polished base that was lurking earlier in the week had turned into a grippy one. Lady, Ryvoan, Traverse 105 ,M2 M1 all good. However heading off the groomed areas was not pleasant ! Think the skins will be out of action for a while !
Following the pisters at the end of the day gave some wonderful runs on fresh corduroy .
Saw the winchcat working on the Ciste Gully

Another great day .
