The West's turn to bask in the sunshine on Friday, with unbroken sunshine, so I hope everyone taking a sickie had factor 50 on else you better work on fading that goggle tan over the weekend.

All runs are complete from the top of the Access upwards with a generally good and wide cover. Recent snow falls have been in light winds so a general all over cover on the lower and mid-mountain now.

Nice dry squeaky snow where pisted and a mix of skier tracked and increasingly skier packed powder elsewhere. Some bits of the hill going through that choppy phase, but increasingly breaking down to pretty sweet skier packed powder.

Rannoch Glades and the immediate skiers right side of the upper tow tracks, plus Etive Glades are loaded. Spring Run has good cover but the Flypaper itself is closed due to avalanche risk. East Ridge was seen action along with some variations on the theme, check with patrol for the latest, Flypaper being assessed daily.

A Summit Webcam showing the top of the Main Basin T-bar is now in place, see here.
