Entrance to the lady now has much more snow but is still thin in places

M1 poma track. I was concerned a week or so ago that this was not going to last. Fear unfounded as there is now plenty of snow and some to spare on the fence line.

jeans bowl has filled in giving some nice off piste. Not powder, a little heavy but good fun.

Side slope has caught the snow giving a very good run to the carpark.

The snow canons were on first thing but clicked off around 11;00 when the sun came out and the temps rose.

The ciste and ptarmigan areas have significantly improved.

Even international TV stars still have to do the day job.

The machines digging out the park.

Lots of snow to move around.

Upper ptarmigan area, great fresh snow.

Took this to show the slab snow slipping around the bull wheel of the ciste. If it is slipping here be careful further afield.

Top bowl in the morning before the sun came out

Lower slopes have improved offering some ways down but I would stick to side slope of the t-bar up track.

There is a half pipe in there some where!

The lady, fun, fast but be careful at the bottom, still thin where you turn to the M1 poma.

the 105, the best run of the day for fast carving, very flattering skiing.

Low cloud for till around 11: 00 then the sun came out. Wind negligible and warm at all levels in the spring sun shine. Around 15: 00 the temperature dropped below freezing.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
There has been significant snow fall at all levels but the wind has made the cover inconsistent. Where the machines have been the surface is superb. The warm temperatures made much of the lower snow around the car park disappear by the afternoon but side slope has improved. A bit muddy around the ridge load station. Jeans bowl has filled in .
Cas, top bowls and lady have significantly improved and the 105 is the best for carving down.
The snow changed a lot during the day from dry, to heavy and wet off piste to crunchier and nearly icy at the end of the day.
