PM: still bright but more cloud towards end of day.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Excellent cover. All runs complete to full width. Deep in places. Most runs giving good, groomed riding. Hard snow to begin with but soon softening to give superb conditions.

More exposed sections had large drifts of soft windblown snow.

Main lifts open: Eagle, Grouse, Osprey, Snowy Owl. Falcon did not open despite being marked 'opening'. Buzzard did open around 2pm after being teased for hours by the piste basher doing laps of the tow and runs.

Best runs were the Buzzard, with some great fun crusty snow on the off piste areas.

Very quiet - road to South still closed. Drive with care from the North.

First skiing at The Lecht for 8ish years. The only thing which would improve it would be Irn Bru in the cafe : )
