They have excellent cover of snow on the upper, middle and lower slopes. There is still a good, complete, run from the top to the bottom, with a dusting of fresh snow on a hard base. The Ptarmigan Bowl, Ciste Fairway, Traverse, 105, Gunbarrel, Zig Zags, Home Road, Burnside, Fiacaill Traverse and M1 provided great pisted skiing. Some icy patches on the lower runs.
