|

|  significant snow depth outside the ptarmigan.

 Overview of the mountain, with some yellow.

 View from white lady at around 2: 30pm
|  Skiers heading down below headwall. Probably not advised, but they had smiles on their faces when they got down.
|
 Top of the Cas Tow. The uptrack and all 4 routes down were in great shape. The Ficialli traverse was perfectly groomed.
|  Summit, just before the traverse. Lots and lots of snow up here.
|
 Looking over to the White Lady. The M1 was on from around 1: 30pm
|  Look up the Cas. There was a great fun park to the south of the uptrack.
|
 Look down the mountain from the M1 Loading Boardwalk
|  Top of the M1. Breezy up here and I had a nice conversation with ski patrol without having to shout.
|
 Grooming the White lady, at around 1: 30pm

:: Weather Conditions
Windy and Misty at first, then glimpses of sun from around 11: 30am. By 2pm the wind had dropped significantly and the M1 Poma was able to open. By 3pm it was blue skies!
+5oc (estimate) at 650m, freezing level at around 1000m.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Powder/packed powder at the summit with lots of snow formations along the snow fences. The mid-level runs were quite good - some louse, but heavy spring snow on a packed, hard base. Lower down it was slush, but certainly skiable. Off Piste high up is great, but the heaviness of the snow made offpiste below 900m pretty challenging.
A snow park was open on the Cas, near the top. Apparently one of the pistenbully operators was working on it till 11pm on the Thursday night - credit to him and all the other staff. They certainly put some effort in to snow farm where the could to ensure lifts were in use.
