Most Terrain has Good Cover.

Stayed in motorhomes in car park overnight, wind howling! Significant drop in the wind at 8AM, but still howling at top. Dropped at top station from about 12: 30, Cas, M1 and Ciste tows then started. Good vis most of the day.

Very sticky early on, but once technique mastered good sport to be had. Remained sticky where untracked most of the day. Lot of crashes! CAS headwall looked menacing and reduced cover coronation wall, much reduced cover east wall of lady. Lady a bit messy low down (rocks), best runs were CAS and ciste. Lapped cas off the train before lunch, then did a mix. Tickets reduced to 28quid. Ciste was forgiving for carving, and good speed on sticky snow attainable keeping skis on edge! Started to firm up in the cooler wind close to close of play. Lower slopes a mess, combat skiable sat, but not sun unless you were on someone elses skis. Got train down.

Mostly Skiable - Some Areas Thin/Narrow

Sunny with light winds but breezier in the afternoon

Lower White Lady is an obstacle course and is just best avoiding and so is the M1 loading area. Great cover in the Top Basin and Cas area. Great sliding!

Mainly overcast with some snow showers

Fresh snow repaired all areas in critical conditions though still thin on lower white lady,M1 loading area and the lower gunbarrel. Still good cover in the top basin but visibility reduced made it difficult to see where you were going. Not the weather for doing the Terrain Park: (

Calm and sunny

Good cover above the mid station. Only there from 1pm but great soft snow on the Lady and top bowls.
Over the back of Cairngorm excellent for tourers and Coronation wall worth hiking up to. Can still ski right to the path beside the Fiacaill ridge poma tow.
