Yummy! Snow as far as the eye can see looking over Strathspey from high on the East Lady.
Tracked up wind packed powder on the East Wall viewed from the West Wall Chair Run.
Looking over the lower slopes of Coire Cas from the Fiacaill Ridge to the East Lady, White Lady and M1.
Blue sky above the East and West Walls, but it did get cloudier late in the day (just so those stuck at work don't feel quite so bad!).

Report
Wednesday saw a blue sky morning with perfect weather and beautiful snow conditions and cover on CairnGorm Mountain. There is fantastic cover across the mountain and all runs are wide, most have a good depth of cover and much of the open mountain side is ridable well beyond the fenced runs and natural snow fields. Though as the snow settles a few more rocks are poking out in the more rocky off-piste areas, so take care off-piste.
You can notch up 2000ft of vertical by using the shuttle bus as part of the uplift with riding to the Ciste Carpark via the Aonach Ridge and Laogh Mor Return. Indeed there is a huge expanse of moderate off-piste that can be done from a combo of the Daylodge Poma and Shuttle Bus.
Photos are a sample from the Public Reports. Thanks to street_machine and MikeM for these pix.
Cover unchanged since Sunday, see here for a wider selection of photos from around the Gorm on Sunday.
