Wednesday turned to night under clear skies and that's how Thursday started and remained, unbroken winter sunshine from a clear blue sky above an endless vista of mountain islands from a sea of inversion mist below the slopes of Meall a' Bhuiridh.

The upper mountain is in good shape with great surface conditions providing fantastic riding. Main Basin is skiing very well with the loose new snow on a firm base, the pick of the groomers though was Happy Valley where you can layout out some sweet turns.

Etive Glades and the spring run are providing good sport for those looking for unpisted stuff, the Spring Run edging it for the run of the day with good accumulations of still nice and soft windblown fresh. Just take care if you traverse back to the Main Basin T-bar from the Spring Run, a few patches here scrapped down to the harder snow below.

Mid Mountain the wall has some nice stashes of relatively untouched windblown fresh from earlier in the week, but is quite narrow so only for advanced riders. Wall T-bar has been open daily, avoids the short walk/skate from the cliffy for the lazy!

Elsewhere lower down the variations on Mugs Alley are skiable, though thin and narrow low down. The Plateau Poma and Run are complete for access to and from the main area, but narrow and thin, though actually pretty pleasant skiing with soft newish snow.

Absolutely spectacular day on the mountain with great riding on the top runs, if you weren't there kick yourself, there was never a queue in sight!
