Excellent snow at all levels, from the top to the carpark, with a mix of powder, machine packed powder, and skier packed powder. Great options for all ability levels, with pretty much every run open and in good condition.

In Coire na Ciste, the Ciste Gully is complete, though involves a traverse out to reach the foot of the West Wall Poma. Both East Wall gullies are complete with fresh drifted snow, and the Aonach Bowl is in similar condition. The West Wall opened for a time, with deep snow. Ryvoan down the side of the West Wall Poma was also offering good conditions.

The Ptarmigan Bowl and Ciste Bowl both offer great snow and a great cover for beginners, as does the Traverse and Cas. The drop-off from the Traverse into the off-piste is do-able again. The Gunbarrel is complete, as is the Zig Zags and Chicken Gully (which has now been pisted). The White Lady and M1 offer the more experienced good snowsports, with some moguls forming on the White Lady.

The Fiacaill runs are complete, and for returning to the Coire Cas carpark, the Carpark Runs are complete with an excellent cover, and the M2/Daylodge route and Fiacaill Ridge are also complete.

The Terrain Park below the top of the Ptarmigan T-Bar offers a tame roller, a flat rail for beginners, a double-pipe flat rail for intermediates, and a flat-down rail for the more experienced. In the lower Marquis' Well area, if you're prepared to hike, there has been some snow mound activity, so probably some rollers and booters going in in there.
