Snow Level: 1800 ft (550m) Vertical Runs: 1720 ft (520m)
Last Update 17.23hrs on Monday 9th Feb 2026
What an awesome day for snowsports on the hill, with amazing spring snow conditions across the mountain.
Visibility was pretty good for most of the day and the sun made an appearance in the afternoon. Forecasts are suggesting a return of very cold snowy weather, from late Tuesday, with snowfalls of up to 30 cm on the higher ground.
This will further improve the great conditions we already have. All uplift is available apart from the Ridge Poma â€' hopefully further snowfall and a change in wind direction, will help fill in the Ridge Poma uptrack.
Cheers
Ops 1
We expect to be parking in the Coire na Ciste car park fairly early this week, and we have two shuttle buses to take folks round to the center
We kindly ask that no one parks in any mountain car parks overnight, especially during snow storms as this can impact our snow clearing operations. There is overnight parking available in Glenmore.

Advance Lift Pass bookings for Snowsports are now available through our webshop for the next few weeks â€' this is the only way to guarantee a lift pass. We may have walk-in capacity on the day, but these are not guaranteed and issued on a first-come, first-serve basis dependent on what terrain we have available. Whilst we anticipate being busy with snowsports, foot passengers are still welcome to come and enjoy the Mountain Railway. Tickets for the Mountain Railway will only be available from the Ticket Office, not online.
We cannot guarantee parking, even for pre-booked customers so please arrive early. On weekends and certain midweek days, there will be shuttle busses running from the Ciste car park from 9am. There is a regular Stagecoach bus from Aviemore or you could consider car sharing through the new Mountain Rideshare service.
During this busy time, we may not be able to respond to messages, comments, and email enquiries and suggest following updates on our Mountain Report.
