M1 in the morning. Perfect pisted spring snow. Was a bit softer in the afternoon

Exiting from the M1 crossover and looking up the 105

Park still has huge kickers.

Looking down Ciste Mhearad. Good cover on the south (right) side

Ptarmigan pair just below the summit of Cairngorm

Spot the skier in Sneachda- Aladdins I think. This was just after 1pm

View from the summit.

Looking down from the Cairngorm tor to Loch Avon

Looking back up to the tor - crunchy spring snow high up, softer lower down

Ptarmigan traverse. Lovely snow

Whoo hoo ! Moguls on the Lady- beautifully softened by the afternoon. Fantastic fun!

:: Snow Conditions & Info
In the morning the pisted M1, Traverse, and Cas were fast and slick giving fantastic skiing( 5) The unpisted Lady was hard work ! However while I was wandering up to the summit and skiing down below the tor on lovely spring snow the Lady softened and by early afternoon it was brilliant. Small moguls of spring snow- grade 5 !
Was enjoying them so much I missed the last M1 poma so my plan to end the day on Coronation Wall and the headwall didn't happen. Plenty tracks there though and I'm sure it would have been good- legs were just too tired by then to skin all the way up !
