Top to middle riding on the Cas side of the mountain, skiable to the Daylodge with care for experienced riders giving 1450ft of vertical.

Traverse, 105 and Cas Gunbarrel are pisted, but some good unpisted fresh on the Upper Cas. Top two legs of the Zig Zags are complete, but thin in places - the Gunbarrel is definitely the better option and remarkably well filled in for so early in the season.

Best sport for the more experienced riders was on the White Lady, lots of drifts, ridges and windlips to play on (or splat on when then mist came down). M1 also complete, but crusty and not very nice at the top.

Other runs are filling in, but not great visibility and flat light limited roaming potential. Light snow fell most of the afternoon and was still falling at dusk to below the Daylodge.

Funicular scheduled to open at 10.20am on Sunday, snowsports maybe available on Monday and Tuesday - decision will be taken on Sunday afternoon depending on the forecast.

All in all fantastic first lift served turns of the new season. Here's hoping it's here to stay with snow in all the critical gullies and stream courses.
