Big heap of snow pushed over from summit tow loading area, about 25 ft high now I guess, The tow has been totally buried 4 times at the bullwheel now, fences been gone for weeks now!

View up the hill toward the summit tow area, the lifty's hut still completely gone about dead centre

Hut partly dug out for acess down a snow ramp, reminds me of Gulmarg !

:: Snow Conditions & Info
Cover is brilliant, the depth all over the ski area and far far beyond the runs are skiable,
The amount of snow really renders the word runs redundant some of them you just don't know where they actually are anymore when fences and markers are totally buried.

The bull wheel on the summit tow has now been totaly buried and dug out 4 times , took till around 1pm today to get running after digging out the goose up tow first but a good bit of work and it was off and access to all runs then.

Surfaces were a bit scoured in places today but not too bad, Goose gully/Alt Sneachda held the best snow, had a few there, a few on sidewinder area which was nicely pisted, had 3 drops of Ed's way and also Warrens which both had scoured areas lower and nice higher up, beginers areas loaded most fences covered on Yockies.
Around 200 sliders or so on the hill despite the good forecast and fantastic conditions,
Never dropped the backs today, on my own most so not a good idea although did see at least one head round, no official word on the hill as guys too busy getting things going !
