Report
:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Cairngorm car park, Coire Cas, Ptarmigan, Cairngorm Summit. Our first descent before 11am south of east had the best spring snow. Our second descent north of east was longer (200m). From the bottom we could see the blocky snow that had slipped and avalanched on The Saddle slabs. We returned by the top of Ciste Meredith

Calm and easy
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
There has been dramatic snow loss since the posting on the Cairngorm page on 9 May. In particular the traverse to Coire Cas is snowless for 100m. The snow in the Gunbarrel starts at the first pylon although this is only 20/25 min from the car park.
