Overcast, cloud on and off the top of the hill first thing. Lifted but stayed relatively overcast for rest of day. Light wind from WSW(ish)
:: Snow Conditions & Info
West of F1 had best cover - full width and pisted. New fencing holding snow in some of the areas that have tended to scrub or scour.

East was also good, infront of the hut having more snow than down the tow line. Also infront of hut a lot better for not being churned by the little basher coming in and out of garage.

Gully area and head of the valley all saw skiers. Off piste was heavy. M1 best route off F2 but require a little more thought than F1 runs to avoid scoured areas. Lots of snow caught up in fencing and hollows by the top and the middle of the run. A major snow shunting session could prob put about 20-30cm down at about two blade widths. If the M1 is shunted then there's nearly a km of excellent piste skiing to be had.

Tow road is white, definately a chains job.

Sorry photos don't do it justice.
