snowing as I was going up in the access chair at 9am!
Snow showers during the day
Visibility came and went on the top runs, but mid mountain vis fine all day. Some really lovely spells on the Main Basin as the snow came out. Cold! 5 deg C in car park at arrival, 6 deg C on leaving.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Wide cover just above everywhere. Poma uptrack complete, although there are oe or two bare spots you need to weave around - not an issue. Main Basin area definitely a 5; Spring run a bit hard in the morning; Middle slopes a 3 - a bit hard then a bit heavy. Hence 4 overall.

Amazing amount of snow at Glencoe, jealous of those who got up mid-week! Great cover on top runs and most of mid mountain for February. Oh, wait, it's May! : -) Is this cover a record breaker for May?!

Photos not my best, I took them in the morning when vis wasn't as good; and was too busy skiing when the sun did come out!

Nice to meet Winterhighlander PeterS - up from Yad Moss in the Lake District - one of a few people I met up for the day from the Lakes area. Great to see!
