Scorchio!

Spectacular views all the way to skye and beyond.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Crunchy snow 1st thing, softened up nicely by lunchtime and slushy after that.

Summit runs in great shape. Park still looks fun.

Goose full width but not full length, last 100m or so very sketchy!

Warrens stayed more firm than other runs but some walking required at the end (but then walking required no matter what run you took to get to the gondola).

We also hiked up to the real summit and boarded back down to the top of the lifts.

Great last day of the season.

From just below the goose T bar upwards cover is wide and snow good. Below that it gets softer the futher you go down just about posable to get to the chair and top station. Goose was unpisted dry and soft. Had most fun on Cats alley which was pisted and fast, warrens was also good. Summit was loaded with packed snow and good too. These are the only runs I skiied so can't comment on the others but theupper half of the mountain was great. Sun was shining, I had to take my jacket off at 11am and I have a tan! I love skiing in Scotland.
It was very quite though.
I didn't take my camera to the top so all photos are from the top station.

The thermometer on the tea hut wall showed 6 deg at 1400. cloudy, a little rain and better vis in the afternoon.

Switch, Warrens and the goose are still full. Giving good spring skiing conditions. Really nice soft snow with just the odd rock showing through. The top third of the Quad is good but narrows to the fence line for the rest of the run.

An Excellent day for April with a lot more terrain open than i thought, shame about the back corries though. They were closed due to unstable cornice conditions, looked like loads of snow down there though

Where was everyone no queues all day FANTASTIC!
