Glas Maol Centre Gully - just awesome. pic doesn't do it justice as my camera was dying

about to make some tracks on the wall of Centre Gully

old camera RIP (what it made of the view towards Maol from Carn Aosda!). No more pics today : -(

Bluebird (or at least the slightly breezy Scottish version!). 40 mph & blowing snow high up with significant wind chill, but didn't detract from a superb day's sport. Visibility & light A1. FL 200m or so first thing. -2 at the end of the day in car park.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Epic cover. Brilliant job from the Glenshee team with machine packed powder everywhere (very few scoured areas which were easy to avoid in the superb light & viz) and enough uplift running to prevent any queues. Glas Maol's centre gully stole the show for me - machine packed powder football pitch wide & wind-blown fresh to be had beyond the pisted area (esp the wall to skier's right which saw quite a bit of action). Cairnwell side was great too - ski anywhere cover. My best days skiing in Scotland for a long time.
