Report
The news many have been waiting for, the Ciste Gully is fully complete and now open! All main runs are complete with a good cover of firm packed snow which should soften during the day on Saturday, but there are icy patches. Excellent sport for all abilities, with good beginner areas at the top and at the Sheiling.
The Lady, M1, M1 SideTrack, the Ciste Gully, Aonach Bowl and Aonach Bynack are all in great shape for experts. The Ciste Gully is complete to well below the Aonach Poma, so don't foroget to Traverse out on the West Wall or you will have to hike back up! (or hike down to the shuttle bus).
