Mostly Skiable - Some Areas Thin/Narrow

Someone released the Bluebird

F1 runs - thin, fast with bristles and shallow stashes. Excellent fun. The snow was very good; just not very thick.

F2 runs - mild combat skiing down the two main lines either side of the tow.

Around 120 members out

Most Terrain has Good Cover.

Mostly clear and sunny with high cloud. About -4degC.

Good conditions off F1 with all of the lower runs being groomed to full width. Layer of machine packed snow over frozen grass. Ice patches in places where the boggy parts of the fell have frozen up. Fast skiing.

Off F2 it was a bit more challenging, narrow (in places) but good skiing on the usual lines. The run out to the Wild West at the head of the valley had been pisted. Thin cover but entertaining. Far East run was more combat skiing.

Broken & Patchy. Very Limited Terrain.

Cold bright and sunny, cloud coming in through morning. Cloud base to top of F1 after lunch. The odd light snow shower.

Probably borderline 2 - 3. Good snow but thinly spread.

F1 runs pisted out to give reasonable but tufty in places skiing. Better first thing when it was still cold.

F2 running, better skiing off F1. M2 snow farmed but a bit too patchy down the bulldozed line for my liking.

Tow road was sporting with winter tyres - a day for 4wd or chains.
