With the forecast for Strong SE winds tomorrow, and further snowfall, it is not looking promising for the Top surface lifts or the M1 Poma.
Depending on wind speeds on the lower mountain, we may be able to operate the Coire Cas T Bar, Car Park T - Bar and the lower conveyors.
We will have a better idea when we are onsite tomorrow and will update around 8.00 am.
Cheers
Ops 1


Online ticket sales are available from Monday. Also walk in ticket sales are available.

Lastly, 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.
