The get on ramp for the tow. Lifty Rory had to run up and down with the bars all day. Much appreciated

The shoulder of Copronation Wall from just below the summit was really good in the morning

Still a good run beneath the summit tor

Fun in the shred

Ciste Mhearad in the morning

The tow track had pallets under it with snow shovelled on top.

The lower area became a water slalom in the afternoon

At this point in the afternoon going up the tow singly was to be recommended !

Looking down the piste

Looking over to the shred

The lower shoulder of Coronation Wall The snow was still good at the end of the day

Repeat run down the Coronation wall shoulder to finish off the day

Reaching the traverse after a great run down the Coronation Wall shoulder

All that remains of the traverse

The end of the season approaches

That's it folks.

What a day to end the season, a season that turned itself round form being one of the worst to being one of the best due to the fantastic skiing in April and May.

Just the upper Fairway and the shred today but even that wouldn't have been possible without the ingenious tow track patching using wooden pallets for a base and covering them with snow.

As the day went on the power of the sun won but not until 3.30pm after much fun was had by all on quite fast snow with water channels to surf through.

I'd a morning wander over to Ciste Mhearad and the slope beneath tor which were good where there was a gradient, but the best run was down the shoulder of Coronation Wall from just below the summit, so much so that a repeat visit was made to finish off a great day.

Big big thanks to all the effort put in by Cairngorm to keep the lifts turning till there was virtually nothing left.
