:: Weather Conditions
Sun all day.
Fairly strong south wind. Didn't put the tows off but made getting down the traverse a challenge on the lower section.
Temperature well above freezing
:: Snow Conditions & Info
The overnight frost had improved the snow condition especially off piste.
On piste it was spring like and with frequent pisteing throughout the day the surface was excellent.
The top bowl, Traverse, 105, Cas and gunbarrel all have good cover.
The M1 had a few rocks just below the surface at the end of the day.
A new jump has been built in the terrain park, and according to those using it, is an improvement on the previous one.
I had a ski over the back of the mountain towards Loch Avon and the snow at around midday was good. although I suspect it probably would have turned sticky a short while later. Marquis Wells in particular gave excellent skiing.
Great day.
