Another, dry, bright and frequently sunny day on Meall a' Bhuiridh with light winds throughout. The full on mountain vertical is available from the summit to the top of the Access Chairlift.*

The best riding for confident skiers and boarders is on the upper mountain, but with the Main Basin T-bar out of action, the Rannoch Button is fairly challenging as the uptrack has been built from nothing through a boulderfield!

The Plateau area green runs are giving reasonable riding for the most part, but there are sections that are very thin / narrow and decidedly agricultural in a few spots. Old Mugs Alley and Rankins Return are the pick of the Plateau runs. The Coire Pollach Tow is the best option for snowplough turners ready to progress beyond the nursery slopes.

After three fine days, the weather is set to change overnight. Hill snow and high winds are set to push in later in the night, with it anticipated winds will be gusting 60 to 70mph into the post dawn period, before moderating into late morning.

A delayed start looks likely, so it does not look like a day for rushing off, but have a more leisurely start and see how the weather plays out.

The sledge park at the Plateau Cafe is open daily (wind permitting) and is currently in excellent condition - full length and width, and much quieter now half term has past. It is recommended you arrive by 2.30pm for going sledging to allow a reasonable amount of time on the mountain.

* - The low level Red Access Run is being done, top third is actually quite nice, but it is fairly extreme combat on the lower 2/3rds. If you really don't want to download, bail onto the Weasel Track and go as far as you can, then walk down the track - that will get the you fairly nice bit!
