:: Weather Conditions
Windy in morning, but easing in the afternoon. Intermittent sunshine with cloud base above the slopes. Good visibility. Freezing level around 800m, falling in late afternoon.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Snow cover better than at the weekend, but thin towards the bottom apart from the drift lines next to the fences. Large patches could be linked with a thin cover of ice and old snow covering the rocks and grass over most of the hill. Best skiing was on Presidents which was complete but narrow in places. Other runs possible with care, including Savages, Outer Mongolia and L'eau Noir. Snow was spring at the base, powdery at the top, and a rather challenging 'crusty' in the middle for a time ;-)
