:: Snow Cover
Mostly Skiable - Some Areas Thin/Narrow
:: Surface Conditions (out of 5)3
:: Weather ConditionsOver cast then brightening up. The slopes were sheltered from the wind that got up later in the day.
:: Snow Conditions & InfoThe main piste areas were all skiable to one degree or another the best sport was to be had west of F2 were the new snow fencing was working a treat. A rough piste by piste report as follows:
:: RidersF1 (the lower of the two tows) F1 East Piste - down the tow line infront of the club hut. Pisted but bristley in places. Didnt see a lot of traffic through the day. F1 West Tow Line - down the snow fencing was pisted later in the day to about 5m width. Soft going. F1 Mid West - pisted but but icey. Didnt see enough traffic to smooth the surface out. F1 Far West - best sport of the lower runs. Improved thoughout the day. Linked niecly with the run down the new snow fencing west of F2 to give 800-900m run. Probably the most popular run. F2 (the upper tow) Best conditions on the hill as the snow had banked out in the steeping midway down the hill. F2 West Piste - wind direction and new snow fencing are giving great sport down the west of the tow. Steep and sedgeless - hurrah. F2 East Piste - bashed in the morning. Still a bit soft in the afternoon but better cover than there has been over the last few years. Further out - went for an explore way out west of F2 into the head of the valley. Still a bit heavy. Not worth it. Gully east of the tows isnt in condition. Around 50 - 80 skiing and boarding

:: Snow Conditions & Info-2c at the foot of the slopes (550m). Both lifts open. Conditions very, very marginal - but proving that you can have fun on about 2" of snow cover. No base & areas of grass/reeds/ice from last week's thaw & re-freeze. Still a great ski though!
