Bluebird day providing best conditions of the season at Cairngorm Mountain
Glorious Alpine conditions are currently on offer at Cairngorm Mountain.
Skiers and snowboarders are being urged to make the most of the bluebird day before high winds blow in tomorrow at the resort.
It has been the best week of the season so far for snowsports lovers at Cairngorm Mountain with great visibility and snow conditions with good powder to be found off the Fiacaill Ridge and in the Aonach Bowl.
The longer term forecast is looking very promising with the cold spell expected to continue from Sunday. There are hopes that this could help the resort get a much needed boost too from early Easter skiing.
Cairngorm Mountain (Scotland) spokesman Colin Matthew said: " It is absolute Alpine conditions today as they have been all week – but today is a real stunner.
"There is due to be change in conditions tomorrow, however, with strong winds and a mild spell expected.
"But the forecast is for a return to snowy conditions on Sunday with moderate winds with next week continuing cold and wintry."
He added: "The Army Exercise Snowlion races have been amazingly successful this week with great days of races on the White Lady and Coire Cas."
The West Wall Poma is in operation providing skiing in the Ciste area of the hill although the Ciste Gully, No 1 Gully, No 2 Gully and the West Wall runs remain closed.
Mr Matthew explained: "Ciste Gully still has a lot of holes and is pretty thin In places. It did not catch us much snow as other areas. We are working on getting the Ryvoan run open in the next couple of days as it needs a lot of machine time."
The temperature is currently -4C with low winds and visibility stretching between 20 kilometres and 40 kilometres.
