Spittal of Glenshee to Loch Callater, via various tops. Crossing road at ski centre.

Wall to wall sunshine, below freezing, calm. Fresh breeze at one point, but otherwise perfect.

Snow very wind affected. Good skinning conditions, many exposed N-S ridges scoured and other slopes largely wind packed, large areas of Sastrugi very firm under ski. For descents snow distribution more even/predictable lower down in glens and lower slopes. Big cornices over some E slopes. Y gully and Twisting Gully in Corrie Kander in decent shape. Lochs freezing, but not yet solid for travel. Lots of xc/Nordic action on Loch Callater estate track.
