:: Weather Conditions
Bright and often sunny with broken cloud. Light wind other than at exposed points where a strong cold wind was evident. FL below centre elevation.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Still early-season conditions however good skiing to be had. Butcharts access run had full-cover along right side and at top, patchy cover down the run on left-side. Snow quality was very good though scoured hardpack at the very top 70m. Below here was fresh/drifted snow on a firm base which had good grip. The final section to the tow was thin in parts and patchy but skiable. Butcharts Corrie offered the best conditions however the exit gully requires some care in navigation. Also ran Sunnyside but has boilerplate/verglas and very mixed unpleasant snow[!.. if you can call it that] conditions at the top. See pics showing Buthcharts Access run.
