Report
With light winds and sunny spells under partly cloudy skies for the Easter Holiday Monday, this is a case of drop whatever you had planned for Easter Monday if it was not going skiing!
Heavy snow squalls and drifting on Easter Day have continued what Storm Dave begun, and all uplift can potentially run for the bank holiday Monday. It was too windy for the Cliffhanger on Easter Day, but the day was saved by the Wall T-bar making its season debut!
The Main Basin was sublime under-ski today, the overhead though was frequently full Scottish, less wind, less cloud and more brightness expected Monday.
Be early to catch the packed powder corduroy worm on the groomers on the Main Basin!
The whole suite of Plateau green trails have cover, there is extensive cover across the Plateau, but away from the drifts along the fences it was breakable crust. The Plateau Poma uptrack has been bashed out along with the Coire Pollach Tow, so both are ready for Monday. The Poma run is fence to fence and it was possible to do a loop via Old Mugs Alley and the Access Return.
Better visibility should allow for a lot more exploring on the upper mountain on Monday for advanced riders, but with the Plateau runs all with good width of cover, it looks like a cracker of a day in prospect for all ability levels.
