Snow Report 27th January 2010

Report from Colin Miller.
Snow report for Clash, as of 6pm, Wed 27 January 2010, based on short recce from Car Park along main trail to top of Telemark Twist:
Temperature plus 2, strong NW wind, moonlit evening after wintry shower. After brief interlude of warm temperatures on 27/1/10 the trails appear to have held their snow.  Thanks to grooming some days ago, and to frequent skiing, the main trail has 30cm compacted snow, giving fast skiing. Off-piste there is general cover of 50cm of sugary snow.
Front section of car park has been well ploughed, giving space for 12-15 cars, with some patchy, old ice. A941 has much surface water due to melting snowbanks on 27/1/10. Wintry forecast for next few days suggests snow and road conditions subject to change!
