 Tom Dearg, complete but narrow in places with granular spring snow.
|  Tiger is wide at the top, still various possible lines giving good sport for experts on good granular spring snow.
|
 Sunnyside hanging in there though narrow, reasonable spring snow and the uptrack remains in good nick.
|  Looking out over Sunnyside and Meall Odhar to Glas Maol.
|
 Sign of the times..... : P
|  Carn Aosda had the least snow to start with, but still a patchy base and it wouldn't take much to plug the gaps on the Poma.
|
 Cairnwell Tow Track mostly hanging in there as is the Race Track, though narrow.

A bit breezy, but not too bad. Pretty much had hazy sunshine the whole day. Very warm though, rivers were flowing proper!
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Decent base remains throughout pretty much the entire ski area, but looking very patchy. Don't think it would need much more to make superb conditions again. Tiger was wide up top, and fun linking patches together on the bottom half. Thunderbowl was class, run of the day, although it was officially closed. Snow seemed quite hard, but brilliant spring conditions as just the top layer was soft. Rode down the Cairnwell tow uptrack which was complete, but quite icy - rabbit run also almost fully complete. Possible to ski top of cairnwell tow back to the chair, but only just (as in a few cm of width around the bottom), and not recommended as the snow bridges risk collapsing at any moment! Racetrack was fine though.
Sunnyside complete but narrow, uptrack still fine, rest of the area just missing a few bits to be complete. Glas Maol looked good from afar, just the return which needs a bit more! I reckon they could have just about opened it today with a few shovels, but lack of people made it pointless, no hard feelings! Only about 50 cars(?) in parking...
Overall, brilliant day, definately worth the trip from Glasgow, and much better weather! - got more skiing in today than the busy weekend a couple weeks back! Disounted lift tickets were pleasant as well, Thanks Genshee!
