Fresh Tracks In Sneachda. If you know your way you can enter this corie from the main ski runs and ski back to the ridge poma.

Off Piste on the day lodge. This was excellent mid morning as the sun softened up the crust that formed over night.

Above the ciste heading towards gully No1

The pile of snow for the half pipe is getting larger and larger.

Mist hung in the valley most of the day, very atmospheric.

Riding the ridge poma. The track was firm in the morning.

Cas remained in the shade most of the day. The gun barrel was very slick, keep out unless you have ice skates on.

:: Weather Conditions
Blue Sky and sunshine, little to no wind. Below freezing at most levels all day, slight thaw around lunch time at day lodge.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
All runs complete and extensive off piste. Some areas are thin but easy to avoid. Snow making has kept zig zags in tip top condition. Snow was firm most of the day. The only real area of ice was the cas. The gun barrel was slick and not fun. The top bowls remained fresh. Some of the off piste had a crust early on but softened as the day went on. Anything that remained in the shade was best to avoid but where the sun got to the snow the surface was excelent.
