. Lovely clear start, skinned up Faicaill ridge on good snow when down came the clag. Reached Cairngorm top and back down to the Ptarmigan bowl on compass bearing. Coffee in cafe then down Ciste to 500m. Thick snow though a bit heavy for my skinnies and 3 pin bindings. Others did somewhat better.
A good couple of days and my start to the season. Let's hope it just gets better.
