A taste of summer snowsports on Meall a' Bhuiridh as Sunday lived up to it's name, with unbroken sunshine and temperatures on the mountain climbing into the mid-teens.
There is going to be plenty of red faces, arms and legs tonight! Classic Scottish T-Shirt skiing weather with a still wide and extensive cover on the upper mountain with all sorts of unusual and fun lines between Rannoch Glades and the Main Basin.
Snow slightly sticky lower down, Wall was good as the extra gradient overcame the stickier snow. However on the upper mountain the snow was sublime, perfect granular spring snow, with some bumps forming in the Main Basin. Spring Run was the pick of the day and the Traverse back to the Top Tows is in good shape. Still possible to ski back to the Cliffhanger via Mugs Alley as an alternative.
Mugs Alley is complete, but narrow, only the Burn Gully skiable lower down so not suitable for novices. Judicious route finding for suitably wet grass allowed the Wall T-bar to be reached from Mugs Alley with skis on.
Plateau Poma uptrack is holding up well, despite everyone riding down it at the end of the day so still no problem getting access to/from the main area on snow and the upper mountain is in simply beautiful shape with amazing spring snow. A reasonable turnout but no queues, so well worth heading up during the week.
