The cloud base was higher from the get go on Sunday with visibility vastly improved on the Plateau compared to Saturday, the clouds continued to lift and break up into the afternoon with some brighter or sunny spells developing.

This also allowed the Wall (red) to loosen up a bit and give nicer turns than on Saturday when every few ventured back to it! With the Rannoch Triple Chair running, no really queues - the occasional few minute wait at the Cliffy, and enough terrain to spread people out. Quite a few seemed to be doing laps of the Rannoch Chair then Cliffy Chair via various routes.

The Plateau Run does not look pretty as it is fairly thin over much of its length and is the run getting the most use, it is however well worth navigating the narrow somewhat combat slalom bits to get out onto the Low Road or Rankins Return as these, particularly Rankins Return was giving really nice mellow turns on Sunday afternoon.

For snowplough turners who've progressed from the nursery slopes, Old Mugs Alley from the Coire Pollach Tow is the best progression run, using the loop round via the Plateau Cafe. Thus the Coire Pollach Tow was fairly popular, though hardly ever a queue. Despite thin cover the uptrack is fairly mellow as the ground here is fairly even and grassy. The shallow gully at the top of Old Mugs Alley is well filled in.

Unfortunately it looks as if after a fairly lengthy spell of mostly dry weather, we are going to see precipitation arrive in the form of fairly heavy rain mid or later in the week. So if you can get up for a Monday slide then go for it! There is still a significant amount of uncertainty in the forecast models, but some degree of thaw with strong Southerly winds looks almost inevitable.

SE winds on Sunday are also forecast for Monday and are not expected to affect uplift at Glencoe, whilst the Nevis Range gondola was closed for the day by the SE winds on Sunday.
