Me and a mate are traveling up at the weekend from the isle of wight and are just wondering about the conditions on skyline and maybe Cwncarn?
Thanks Sam.

    Best to keep a close eye on things as it's looking quite cold all week.

    ahhhh, that's what im a bit concerned about is there any chance u could keep me up to date were going to be leaving on Friday evening, it shudnt be to much of a problem as long as the roads are clear and we got plenty of winter kit to wear! :)

    Yup, looking a bit dicey for the end of the week though if the snow clears then my ski jacket fits over the body armour OK, so a bit of cold won't matter :-)

    Is it really, as long as no more snow falls it shud be fine *fingers crossed* coz it's a long way to travel and there's snow on the trails lol :/

    even if there's snow on the trails they were rideable yesterday. it was fun :D

    but the uplift will be hit and miss if you were planning on doing that, i'd call cwmdown first

    Afan was totally rideable today, there was snow on the top of the wall trail and windy point, but it was rapidly melting in the sunshine 8) Only sketchy parts were under the tree cover on 373 etc.
