11 February 05

The powder yesterday has been packed down, with some scoured sections in places now. The snow isn't as good as it was yesterday, but the winds were more bearable.

The Ptarmigan Bowl and Ciste Fairway are wide again, with a good cover of fresh snow with no hazards to speak of.

The Traverse is wide with soft fresh snow over a packed base - as has the 105. Coire Cas is wide with some excellent snow. The off-piste area has been tracked out so really only serves as an extension to the piste but with the odd rock to look out for.

The Gunbarrel was incomplete, but do-able down the uptrack. Getting to the M1 Poma involved crossing the burn in the Gunbarrel - care required. The Zig Zags were wide, but slightly scoured in places. The Chicken Run had some fresh drifted snow, but was narrow.

The M1 was hard packed and scoured, but otherwise an excellent width but narrowing further down. On the White Lady, fresh and wide drifted snow on the upper section became narrow, bumpy and scoured on the lower section.

The Carpark Runs are perhaps a better alternative to the Home Road, but only if you are experienced enough. We didn't do it personally, but the M2 and Daylodge run were said to be excellent and wide, though the Daylodge run was narrowing further down.
