Cas Gun Barrel, crunchy snow, fast and good ski

ZigZags are surprisingly in very good condition. It looks like all that man made snow is helping the longevity.

Looking over to the cas and park. The runs are complete but in between is bare.

The cas was a good ski down, crunchy spring like snow

The wind was stripping the nice snow surface off

A bit difficult for some to get from the train to the traverse. The wind came in gusts and was brutal.

Look at the colour of that ice! keep to the prepared runs it you are unhappy on ice.

Lower slopes are closed but there are ample ways to get down

Traverse is intact but the wind was a challange.

Ptramigan area has plenty of snow but only the polar express running due to the wind

Looking to the 105, nice snow but a bit scraped at the entrance from the traverse.

Ridge area still has enough snow to get back to the base station

Car park T-bar tow path was in use to get back to the base station

Poor day lodge run : ( this was so much good fun last week.

The snow canons are working on the lower runs,trying to patch a way back for beginners.

:: Weather Conditions
Very windy, uplift limited to train and polar express. Temperature dropping by mid afternoon and squally showers of snow blowing through. Broken cloud with good viability between the showers.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
The hair dryer is set to maximum and is a shame to see the snow loss in the last couple of days. The snow is rock hard away from the piste but on the runs the machines have made a good job giving a sugar like surface. Unfortunately the wind is whipping it up and striping it away. Officially the lower slopes are closed but there are many ways to get you to the car park.
