Many thanks to everyone who helped Cairngorm today by helping to dig the train track out from the humungous snow drifts that have covered it over the past week. Thanks to your efforts as well as all the Cairngorm team, who have been at work many hours a day, it looks like the ski area will be open from tomorrow. However there is still plenty of work to be done, so initially we should expect only a limited area however, as tows are dug out and wires put on, we should get it all going.
Some of my photos I took today (17th January) are below. I was working on the big drift above the middle platform. Some of the area we are working on is usually where you would go from the White Lady under the train track to go to the M1 poma, so that might give an idea of how much snow is in this drift!
There is a train track under there honestly!

Looking up at the next big drift (there are more above that one)!
