Report
A beautiful day with very little wind and unbroken sunshine through the morning, though cloud increased in the afternoon to give a light flurry at closing time.
All runs are fully complete to the top of the Access Chair with a good cover on virtually all of the runs, just a couple of thin and scrapped bits at the foot of the Plateau and Mugs Alley, but there is plenty width on these to avoid them. Wide cover skiers right of the Plateau Poma where there is a gap jump and table top.
Crunchy to hard off the pisted lines low down, generally firm packed mid-mountain with a covering of loose snow, pockets of loose soft snow can be found around Thrombosis, under the Cliffy and parts of the Wall. Dry squeeky snow on the upper mountain giving beautiful turns on the groomers on the Main Basin.
Spring run is in great shape and the Flypaper has been open most days this week. Etive Glades has caught the most depth, possibly the best cover here for years thanks to the SE gales of mid January.
Never more than a handful of people waiting for the Main Basin T-bar on Thursday, Wall T-bar scheduled for Friday and Top Button can run at the weekend.
