:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Up by the Windy Ridge path to the patch below the Cairngorm tor then over to Ciste Mhearad
:: Weather Conditions
Quite cool, very little wind. Mist coming and going above the top station
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Soft spring snow on both patches.
I measured the tor patch, using ski lengths and it worked out at approx 77 m x 46m. It had gone by this time last year because I remember looking for it walking back from Macdui to Ciste Mhearad on the same day
Rocks have appeared on north side Ciste Mhearad over the past 8 days and several new snowholes have also been revealed. More snow though than this time last year.
Still able to get the 16 turns in like last week!
