:: Snow Conditions & Info
The upper Goose had great cover. It was firm in the morning but softened to lovely spring snow in the afternoon.

All the summit runs were good and because Spectre hadn't been pisted you could make fresh tracks in the small amount of fresh snow that had fallen overnight.
The terrain park had some jumps and rails.

Warrens also offered fresh tracks but the snow ran out on the upper traverse so a 10 min walk was needed to get back to the Goose take off at tower 4
At the end of the day I skied as far down as I could and walked back to the Gondola

I broke up the day with a tour to the summit of Aonach Mor and a ski down to the lowest point between it and Aonach beag.

Great day with good skiing
