Saturday: Big Packs & Telemark skis, from Glenshee: - Glas Maol draglift, via Tom Buidhe - Tolmount - Cairn Bannoch to camp in Allt an Da Chraobh Bheath (below Carn an t-Sagairt Beag) - then ski out Sunday down the Feindallacher Burn through Ballochbuie Forest to Invercauld Bridge
:: Weather Conditions
Sunshine & some cloud on Saturday, then light rain overnight & whiteout Sunday morning (so cancelled our objective of Lochnagar)
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Fantastic snow, particularly from Glenshee skii area southwards. Frozen crust with windblown powder. Clearly lots of unbonded slab when excavating shelters etc!!! Snow much more sparse on descent north from Carn an t-Sagairt Beag etc, but fun picking route down the burns etc
