Lower Cas in to Gun barrel, great snow

Ridge poma first thing in the morning

Mid Cas, very well prepared and very flattering to ski.

Railway underpass. They were having to shovel snow into the underpass to get back to the M1 poma.

Much of the mountain is scoured but the fences have caught the snow making the runs excellent.

Jeans bowl got the snow making it the best off piste ski area.

Fiacaill run was not pisted making it hard in places. Note the bolder field is just that, a boulder field!

The cas caught most of the blowing snow in the last couple of days, the guys had to do a lot of pisting to get this open this morning.

Lower slopes have improved but are still thin. You can make out where the machines had been down the length of the fences but the midle of the runs is still bare.

The Gun Barrel, great to ski

The white lady is still narrow and thin ar the bottom. It was well pisted by mid morning.

As predicted the weather closed in by the afternoon, heavy snow and strong winds.

The entrance to Jeans Bowl was a bit tricky but once in was a great ski.

Drifts on the lower ridge run, normally where you would queue for the ridge poma.

A bit thin on the under passes, the guys had to shovel snow to make the connection to the M1 poma.

Zig Zags are good but in between is bare.
