Awesome to kick off the festive period with our first floodlit snowsports session, thanks to everyone who came along! Forecast for Sunday 21 December is for milder temperatures at the Base Station. +4°c with SE winds around 20-25mph, dropping later in the afternoon. Staying cold at the Top Station, wind speeds 35-40mph and temperatures around -1°c but feeling like -10°c with the wind chill. We will be running another floodlit session from 3:30pm to 5pm. The Cas Bar will be open later serving hot/cold drinks and snacks. The Mountain Railway will be opening from 10am with the last train up at 3:30pm and last down at 4:30pm.
