Clash Snow Report 27th November 2010

Clash snow report — Saturday 27th November, 2pm:
Trails: 45-60cm (around a foot of fresh snow has fallen since Thursday 25th). Powder snow, but sticky (in contrast to Thursday’s smooth skiing). Non-wax skis balling up on return to car park.
Timberline snowfield: checked the southern half — surprised to find that it’s filled in nicely already, with around a metre depth of semi-consolidated drift.
Temp -2C. Further snowfall in late afternoon. Hoar frost forming on the road after dark.
A941 icy; car park had been ploughed by lunchtime Thursday but not since, therefore there were a few inches of fresh snow on the ploughed base.

More snow and high winds forecast tomorrow which would lead to drifting. Take care when visiting the Clash!
