Only 3 days left for lift served snowsports in the 2019 Scottish Season. It was a warm and sunny, albeit somewhat hazy day on the slopes of Meall a' Bhuiridh on Good Friday.

Temperature reached 19°c at the base at 1200ft, but parts of the Central Highlands have passed 22°c today. Some rather bemused tourists on the Access Chair as people passed with skis and snowboards.

The Main Basin is where most of the action is happening, but the Spring Run and the Wall are still officially open too and both are worth a few runs. The Wall is the best route down to the Cafe level now, though there is a couple of metres of grass skiing now required at one point to reach the foot of the snowfield.

Pretty fast granular spring snow and bumps beginning to build in the Main Basin through the narrower sections. Spring Run has very mellow bumps and is quite a bit smoother if your legs are feeling the bumps. Still a few foik doing things in and around the Flypaper Bowl and the Canyon, but these require a bit more leg work than even the Spring Run.

For confident intermediates and up the Main Basin could be lapped non-stop on Good Friday with no waiting for the T-bar.

It is around a 7 minute walk to the Plateau Cafe from the top of the Access Chair and the sledge park is open, just over from the Cafe which is open daily weather permitting.

Easter Monday is scheduled to be closing day, looks as if it should be a warm bluebird day. Do check for updates through the weekend as though not particularly windy the sustained moderate SE wind is increasing the thaw rate from the warm temperatures. Bright start to Saturday morning, overcast PM and first thing Sunday, with bright spells developing Sunday afternoon. Probably dry lift opening hours, but some drizzle for a time overnight.
