Starting cairngorm car park taking lower path past Coire an t-Sneachda, coire an lochan and over to Ben Macdui summit. Snow on south facing slopes was thin to nonexistent making progress slow with skis on pack

Freezing level well above sumit. Patchy cloud with warm sunshine. Chilly breeze when sun went behind a cloud.

Snow on south facing slopes was thin to nonexistent making progress slow with skis on pack. North facing slopes had fresh on firm spring snow. the fresh could be sticky in places and even wind blown and slaby of the summit of macdui. Snow in Coire an Lochain was by far the best, fast spring snow, easy to ski. Tip is going to Macdui, leave the skis behind and enjoy the walk or stop at Coire an Lochain and enjoy the skiing.
