Still deep snow at the Top of the Access Chair and all Plateau Runs good which means excellent spring snowsports for all abilities.
| The sun parasols maybe weren't required, but in the distance above is Creag Dubh Chute which was seeing action this afternoon.
|
Finally running out of snow around 1600ft, slightly below the level of lower track hairpin, 5 min hoof back to the track from here.
| Still going below 1700ft....
|
The narrow bendy gully off the Eastern side of the Plateau leads onto a wide open snowfield that drops into a shallow gully - but each turn puts you a little further out from the base.
| Heading off the Plateau on superb fast spring snow in what looks like a dead end at several points, but the snow is continuous for another 700 vertical feet.
|
Looking down the corner of Mugs Alley to the Plateau Poma.
| Way out East on the Plateau well beyond Rankin's Return looking back to the Spring Run, managed 2000 vertical feet continuous descent from the top of the Main Basin T-bar!
|
Lots of different routs still possible from the Spring Run and Flypaper Bowl out onto Rankin's Return.
| Andy at the top of the Spring Run, bumps beginning to build now. Great fun spring snow too.
|
Top of the Banked Slalom course what went down Thrombosis, a shaped course along the High Road under the Cliffy Crag and finished in the Canyon's Bumhole.
| Etive Glades was a popular choice today with people lapping the full length to the foot of the Wall T-bar.
|
Looking up the Cafe fork of Old Mugs Alley, still wide cover here and Old Mugs Alley great for snowplough turners.
| In the distance lots of options for those prepared to earn their turns, looking out from Etive Glades.
|
Old Mugs Alley remains in great shape with good granular spring snow, perfect for snow plough turners getting to grips with the lifts and longer greens.
| Still deep cover on the Plateau Poma, hopefully it can survive the coming hairdryer next week!
