 From the bottom of summit gully

 Not much consolidated snow beyond the bottom of the coire. I didn't fancy trying to get round and down to Coire Dubh and Braveheart.

Some lovely clear spells but also some sharp showers coming through with lower cloud.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Summit runs have great cover. Goose good on top third but below that it's combat skiing really.
Over the back, summit gully was rideable with entrance pitch on skiers right. It narrows to a short ramp just below half way down - which was fun to ski - and then opens out again. Snow was firm with a layer of windblown fresh over the top.
Spikes was a bit icier at the top and then rocky in the middle third.
There doesn't seem to be any consolidated snow below the bottom of the coire so I didn't try to get out to Bravheart and Coire Dubh; instead skinned up to the coire headwall and then boot packed up the final steep pitch. This was fine with crampons but would have been sporty without them.
