:: Weather Conditions
Blowing a hoolie above the tunnel mouth but not so bad below. Mainly overcast with mist on the summit but the sun did put in the occasional brief appearance in the afternoon. Below freezing
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Only the Cas side was open but the snow was excellent on the runs- pisted powder with no icy base lurking.
Pick of the day for me was the M1 which stayed in fantastic shape from my first run around 11am till the lifts shut.
M1 sidetrack was excellent too and was regularly pisted throughout the day .
Upper Lady was fantastic but by the end of the day the lower section had less soft on it and was beginning to become a little icy.
Fiacaill and Cas were good too and you could get back to the daylodge by the run beside the Car park T bar.
No queues so continuous skiing. Really good day !
