Low cloud coming down to about 1900' during the snow showers. Strong wind gave a bit of a sand blasting experience. Freezing level around or above 2000'

Still no place to fall on sunday. Below the crossing remainded sugar coated and what snow did come during the flurries slightly refreshed and quietend the upper section. It was actually easier to ski late Sat afternoon. The sudden increase in bight on the new snow could catch you out in the low cloud.

Best summed up by one of the Geordie lads who turned up on Alston's Morocan standard ski hire service - beats an afternoon in the pub.

OAP, PeterS, Lietwolf - around 20 others came and went during the day.

Strong winds - brightened out towards the end of the day but temperature didnt really lift much. Heavy froast stayed about 2000'

Bomb proof base becoming sugar coated below the cross over on the tow line towards the end of the day. No place to fall and very noisey.

OAP, PeterS. I thought around 20 people came and went. A few boarders came and went after 1 run.

Cold cold and more cold ! very strong easterly, downslope wind all day. freezing level probably about 700m, but didn't really make much difference. good visibility.

Born hard snow. Very slowly improving during the day as the top layer gradually got cut up. Freezing rain on friday didn't help, except to preserve the excellent base. Quite a bit of deicing required first thing on the top pylons and cables. only really the main run complete, though the other runs only really need a little more snow.

Only about 10 - 15 skiers. a very quiet day.

Most Terrain has Good Cover.

Cloudy with a strong wind to start. Wind dropped later and the sun came out.

Fresh snow overnight meant powder off piste and great piste conditions. Big drifts by the main fences were pisted out. Powder gully was full of fresh powder! Loads of off piste.

About 100!
