Ben Nevis.
Hiked in Friday night and stayed at CIC hut.
Skied #3 and #4 gullys in the coire na ciste bowl.
:: Weather Conditions
"Shonky Tonk" weather (pish wet!) and droppy cornice's prevented us from venturing onto some of the more adventerous gullys
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Granulated spring snow. Despite the torrential rain some sections were still pretty firm
