:: Weather Conditions
Freezing at car park. A blustery cold day with sunshine and squally snow showers and lots of spindrift.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
The wind has stripped bare some of the new snow cover from yesterday and there were sastrugi on exposed sections of Spring run and Etive Glades. Main Basin and Happy valley gave excellent skiing and the Wall was fantastic with deep snow. Spring run was for the more adventurous with some icy exposed sections higher up and sastrugi but lower down gave some really nice skiing. Flypaper and East Ridge both closed due to the considerable avalanche risk.
