We have lost all the off piste powdery snow of late, but there is still good cover on most of the runs that were in action last week.
There is a pretty decent run from the Top Station back to base
The Ptarmigan Bowl is in great condition.
The Fairway has lost a bit, but still good routes back to the Ciste Tow.
Main body of the M1 piste is in good condition , however, it narrows beyond the timing hut.
A good route is available through the lower slopes back to the bridge above the Day Lodge.
Ski roads and car parks now open.
The White Lady piste was pushed out and groomed last night and will have set up pretty firm
The Coire Cas T bar will be in operation and hopefully the Car Park T bar later in the morning
Snowsports and Mountain Railway opening at 9.00 am .
Cheers

News from the Slopes
When we reopen after the storm, a limited number of walk-in Lift Passes are expected to be available. However, this is not guaranteed and depends on capacity as well as the expected number of Season Pass holders choosing to visit. On busy days we can reach full capacity and may be unable to sell Lift Passes on arrival. We recommend only travelling if you’re comfortable with the possibility that you may not be able to ski or snowboard.
During the winter season, and especially on weekends, our equipment rental facility will be very busy, with wait times often exceeding an hour. At present, we are only offering helmets as part of our main rental packages.
Multi-day passes are not available at the moment and we do not have enough surface lifts open at the bottom to be able to offer ski touring tickets. Due to the changing conditions, we will release tickets only a short time in advance. If the weather is more settled, then this may change. 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.
