Fresh tracks on the Fiacaill ridge run, deep pockets of wind blown powder

Lady well pisted but still thin on lower section, a good ski but getting on with the strong wind was a challenge.

Cas park being worked on

Side Slope of ridge being pisted, this whole area has now been pisted so not for powder hounds any more.

Top of the ridge run has been scoured. Use the side slope and jeans bowl then cross over the tow path into the ridge run lower down.

The snow being stripped off the cas area

Side slope was excellent skiing on pisted compressed powder

Ptarmigan looks lovely but trying to stand up here was a challenge.

The cas was in excellent condition but getting to it was difficult

The traverse was not for small or light people. make sure you have eaten lots of pies before trying or you may just take off.

Top of gun barrel, great fast snow

Lower gun barrel , practice your short swings in the squeaky fresh snow

Looking over to the zigzags

Ridge side slope, best skiing on the mountain. Ideal for most levels as has been pisted in many different directions.

Burnside, plenty of snow down here.

Easy ski back to day lorge.

:: Weather Conditions
Break in the wind mid morning allowing the cas to open then close 1 hour later. Over head was mixed with glimpses of sun but when the wind blew the drifting snow affected visibility. Morning snow showers died out by lunch time then temperature rose on the lower slopes.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Snow texture was great, fresh and wind blown powder. Occasional large deep stashes could be found, fun to bounce through. Some runs such as the Fiacaill Ridge and day lodge have been scoured bare. Others such as the cas and jeans bowl are full with fresh snow.
