:: Snow Conditions & Info
A very enjoyable afternoon at the Lecht using a mixture of lifts and skins.
The runs have a hard base with soft snow on top. In between the runs on the west ( main ) side of the hill the surface was wind ridged, quite hard and icy in places but with pockets of soft powder. I enjoyed the area to the restaurant side of the Falcon.
I took a wander over the back towards the Camore Burn. Here the snow was smooth and sun baked and just fantastic to ski. Had a couple of runs then skinned back and used the Eagle tow which was still in the sun.
Knowing how great the west facing slopes were I finished by skinning up the Buzzard which had not been running and had a fantastic final run back to the car.
Great afternoon
