 Mist came and went in a matter of seconds at the very top. Main Basin in good shape, deep cover, firm at top today.

A day of two halves, a largely overcast morning, even when most areas around were brightening up with blue sky! However by late morning the hill fog did burn back to give some lovely sunny spells, but the mist came and went on and off from the very top of the mountain.
As a result the Summit stayed just below freezing so the top of the upper runs stayed firm, with a layer of sugary snow on top. From part way down the upper mountain the snow loosened up into granular spring snow.
The Plateau and easier mid mountain runs are in great shape meaning there is excellent sport for all abilities on offer. In the morning the Cliffhanger and Plateau were quite busy as they had good visibility, but people spread out more in the afternoon.
For more advanced riders, Thrombosis, the lines under the Cliffhanger and the Canyon were all good with the loose spring snow, but most people seemed to be of the view the Wall was the pick.
The Flypaper has been open some days recently, but is being assessed daily on the basis of visibility, surface conditions and snow pack stability - as the snow pack continues to evolve.
Forecast for Monday and Tuesday is excellent, bright sunshine above a possible inversion layer with little or no wind. Get up and play, a whole mountain of spring snow is pretty sweet.
