The snowpack has set up firm with overnight frost, but has pisted up well on the groomed runs Very nice snow sports around. No real change in the route back to Mid Station, however some areas did catch a lot of snow in the upper, sections like the Top of the M1 Piste and above the Top corner of the Traverse.

:: CairnGorm Mountain Lift Status & News
Sunday 7th December - Evening Update. After a lovely bright start to the day it got a wee bit soggy this afternoon - that still didn't stop lots of skiers and snowboarders enjoying some time on the slopes. Thanks to everyone who joined us for snowsports and those who took a trip on the Funicular to play in the snow. The Christmas spirit was strong again thanks to Santa stopping by, and of course the Cairngorm Reindeer Herd. He even managed to catch the last train up to the top to see everyone, with an excellent rendition of 'Jingle Bells' sung on the way down. The week ahead looks mixed weather wise - tomorrow we are expecting SSW winds 30mph gusting up to 40 with temperatures around freezing at the Top Station. You can book Lift Passes online, or pop into the Ticket Office: book.cairngormmountain.co.uk/lift-passes.

From Tuesday the wind looks like it will be picking up with a rise in temperature - we will be assessing conditions daily so please check back for updates. The temperatures are currently forecast to drop a little later in the week with more settled weather from Friday.
