A really good day at the Lecht. Staff great as usual. Piste was great
but a few stones and bare patches appearing on lower Eagle, nursery areas
and steeper sections skiers left of the Grouse tow. Visibility excellent all
day and queues pretty reasonable considering the place was at capacity with cars
parked back down the 939 for half a km. Only gripe was uplift, Falcon
went off with me and my son on it mid morning. According to Facebook some
plonker skied wide on the uptrack and pulled the cable off. It wasn't a nice
experience to feel the cable go slack when you're on the steep section and
being unsure if it's going to land on yer heid. Hope the culprit got their
lift pass taken off them. Also tried off piste wide of the Buzzard towards a
functioning Harrier. The snow had got a bit compressed and made it tricky but
it was doable. Downer was the Harrier went off when we got across the road..
Not sure why but took around 2+ hours to get it going again. Buzzard side has
great snow and 4 big pistes but the queue was slow due to its popularity. A
second poma on that side would make all the difference.
