Plenty of snow out there from top of gondola station upwards, don't know why half the runs are still closed
From top gondola down to the town they've done very good job of keeping the ski road open, boarded down it to finish yesterday and found it fine.
So if you're off out there next week don't panic

Are there still only 6 runs open? Or have they stopped updating their site?Glad you had a good time!

Well when I finished on Friday, they'd opened the one 3 man chair that goes almost to the summit but the two lifts that go to the very top we're still closed with no chairs on the cables, the black from the top was still closed until halfway down and there's loads of powder on it, I checked it out myself on Wednesday ;o) Blue no. 10 and the red that comes ...

They are opening runs daily now. Blue 10 is open again and other runs to follow. You cannot piste fresh snow. it just brings the water to the top freezes and creates ice so would like be skiing on boiler plate ice. The snow has to consolidate first. Hence when a piste has not been bashed it will get moguls. Been snowing all night again last night and most of the day. If it continues to snow through night they again will more likely not be able to bash the piste.
I would imagine nearly all ...

I would imagine nearly all runs will be open tuesday the only problem being the Chalin Valog black where there was no snow at all on it really only where they had tried to produce cannon snow.
Its all looking good
