Friday Forecast


Cairngorms
Sheiling platter and Car Park tows now open. Others on hold untill the wind calms down. VERY ICY AROUND CAR PARKS AND BUILDINGS Pretty Stormy at the top of the hill at the moment and blustery at Car Park level. All traffic via the down road as the link road is getting widened. Day Lodge Poma is off with an electrical fault and engineers are still working on it. We have a shuttle bus booked everyday so there will be the option of skiing back to the Ciste Car Park.

The Lecht
The Lecht competition will be going ahead this weekend!! if you fancy hitting up the rail jam make sure you are around the nursery slopes for a 5 o'clock kick off, if the kicker jam takes your fancy that will be kicking off on Sunday morning around 10am . All runs complete with hard packed snow with all nursery runs open, we are expecting white cloud and temperatures of -3 on Saturday, on Sunday the sun will be popping through to say hi every now and then, and temperatures are set to be a little warmer, so that should set the scene for the kicker, there should be a good crew of people there so hope to see you all their!!

Glenshee
All the runs have full cover of soft snow on a hard base. Outside the runs there are acres of snow especially Glas Maol and Carn Aosda giving great off piste for the more adventurous skier/boarder. There is ample nursery area.
Saturday should start dry and bright but cloud will increase by late afternoon. The wind will be light North-Easterly.

Glen Coe
All Runs have an excellent cover of soft snow. If you are going to head across to Glencoe be sure to bring cash as their card machines havent arrived yet.

Forecast for Sat 6th Feb - 15-20mph South easterly wind. Possibly one or two snow flurries. Visibility may vary during showers.

Nevis
After a stormy spell at times on Friday the weather looks better for the weekend.
Most runs are complete and the upper mountain has a wide cover with plenty of snow between the runs providing off piste areas.
Snow conditions were soft today and may firm up with a bit of fresh snow.
Good skiing for lower abilities around the top station and on Linnhe and Alpha runs.
Back Corrie may open this weekend, but will be assessed daily.
Terrain Park has various features including rookie rails, a rainbow rail, a double c rail, tyre, kicker and rollers.


Recommendation:

The lecht is the place to be for all things freestyle, however if you fancy a change of scene and a good old freeride then Glencoe seems to be fairing out to have the best conditions, wharever you go have a great time, and make the most of this fantastic season we are currently experiencing. woooohoooooo.
