Good morning.
Currently light winds with good visibility. Temperatures starting to drop back sitting at 0C at the Top Station and +6C at the base station.
Soft snow conditions this morning likely to refreeze this afternoon, with further fresh snow fall in the coming days at higher elevations.
We still have fantastic snow cover in the Top Bowls, White Lady and Cas side runs. The White Lady is groomed to the underpass and ungroomed below with some nice moguls for you today.
The forecast is to cool down to freezing again by this morning, then dropping to -2C at the Top Station by afternoon. Winds increasing to West South Westerly 30 to 34 mph this afternoon with sunshine and snow showers later.
The 105 piste is now thin in some sections.

News from the Slopes
Lift Passes are available to book both online and purchase on the day from the Ticket Office with afternoon tickets available daily from 12:30pm. Equipment Rental bookings can be made online but please note, during busy times we may not have availability for walk-ins. If you have’t secured rental with us please hire elsewhere, you can find a list of local shops here.
Please do not park 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.
We cannot guarantee parking, even for pre-booked customers so please arrive early. There is a regular Stagecoach bus from Aviemore or you could consider car sharing through the new Mountain Rideshare service. When our car parks are full can we kindly ask that people do not park on our access roads carriageways, as this severely hinders us in keeping traffic moving freely, and allows buses and emergency vehicles to pass safely.
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.
