Report
Sunday turned into a beautiful blue sky if windy afternoon on CairnGorm Mountain, while those up the mountain could see shower after shower hit Aviemore! The Funicular, Ptarmigan Tow and Coire Cas providing uplift.
Firm grippy snow in the Top Basin with some loose fresh stuff blowing about the Ptarmigan Bowl which generally was pretty sheltered despite the wind low down in the Carpark.
Good fun spring snow riding on the Cas side mid mountain, the White Lady was in great shape with granular spring snow over a firm base with some bumps forming on one side and a regularly bashed out line of spring snow corduroy to skiers right. Lady was the highlight of the day lapping off the Funicular with the M1 Poma off due to wind, but the White Lady was sheltered and can ski right to the platform.
Coire Cas remains in good shape with a pretty wide cover on the Upper Cas and the Gunbarrel was still loaded and pretty much flat across. Traverse and 105 in good nick and the Zig Zags and Chicken Gully are complete for avoiding the Gunbarrel.
Fiacaill Traverse provides a long cruisey blue and the Nessie Rollers were fast and fun with the quick spring snow. They've been reshaped slightly and are a bit deeper and bigger now!
Still ridable to the Daylodge via the Fiacaill Traverse, Fiacaill Crossover and Fiacaill Ridge when the Poma isn't open for uplift.
