:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Up the Fiacaill ridge, down Coire Raibeirt, along Loch Avon and then up Beinn Mheadoin via the coire to the east of Stac Dubh. From the summit east down the classic ski descent line to the mouth of Loch Avon. Across the river, skied along the loch and then up to the Saddle. From there to Marquis Well and then over and down the traverse, Cas, Zig Zags and all the way to the car park
:: Weather Conditions
Blue Sky !
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Variable and exciting! Alternating between good hard crust and soft baseless snow, North facing slopes generally worse than south facing and generally best above 850m. Skis on continuously but a few lumps taken out of the bases !
