Blue skies, little wind with FL hovering around 900m
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Fresh snow overnight made for great conditions. Quick blast of the Goose to Tower 4 and then on to Easy gully which is totally lacking a cornice this year making the entry relatively straightforward. Skinned/hiked out of Coire an Lochain towards Spikes and then returned for a repeat before skiing down the Goose and back to the Gondola station : )
