There is a real mix of conditions at present, but mini-Admin is pictured here demonstrating the pretty typical chalky/packed powder to be found most commonly... and very nice to ski it is too!
Above 2,000 metres, coverage is pretty much 100% with the proviso that the actual surface conditions are quite varied. The combination of significant temperature inversions (warm afternoons in the sunshine up top, and icy cold in the shadows/valley) and sunshine are mixing it up, but the resort are doing a great job with overnight grooming and judicious use of cannon snow to keep surfaces fresh.
