 Poster: A snowHead
|
So the funicular is finally open and they have said the following about tomorrow:
The long anticipated return to service of the Polar Express lift is scheduled tomorrow with the Funicular Railway and Ptarmigan tow.
The team have been busy pushing snow out, with a good run down the Ptarmigan fence line to the Top Station and a direct line through the bowl. Some good snowsports available at the top of the mountain, with easy access to the top on the Funicular.
First train at 9am.
I don't know the mountain at all. Anyone familiar? Is it worth a 3 hour drive up tomorrow?

1 green run, probably about a basher or 2 wide and about 500m long. Snow is probably quite nice.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If be sure to get there early if you do go. There's no guarantee it'll be open very long before they admit to the next problem and close it for another dode of funding.

Well let’s be fair, a book of funicular tickets might have somewhat more value than a book of Nevis Range snowsports tickets!

I’ve got a photo of it from today, narrow pushed out drifted snow from the fence basically. And a basher wide track back to the Ptarmigan building itself. Better than nothing , just.

There is a video they've uploaded which shows the runs up the top, to be fair they;ve managed to scrape more snow together than it was before so it's not too bad, but very limited still.

Nothing on the White Lady? Surely not worth a long drive.

@Lewisphoenix, Absolutely not worth a 1/2 hour drive let alone a 3 hour drive. You will have to buy a full day pass for a snotter's worth of snow.
