Snow Level: 1000 ft (300 m)   Vertical Runs: 2000 ft (610 m)

Sheiling Tow AWS is giving faulty wind readings, please ignore wind speed data from this station. Site visit planned Wed weather permitting. Temperature appears to be working and the SSC Hut and Loch Morlich AWS's are functioning correctly.

Last Update 16.42hrs on Monday 15th Mar 2010

New snowfall on the top runs.
Some icy patches around mid runs and the lower runs are soft.
If going offpiste outside the main area there is probably still a risk of avalanche. We advise people not to ski alone and to check SAIS site prior to going in these areas. THERE HAS BEEN SOME CORNICE COLLAPSE IN THE LOWER CISTE GULLY NEAR THE CISTE CRAGS - IF YOU ARE USING THAT ROUTE PLEASE KEEP TO THE AONACH SIDE.
