:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Hiked up from North Face car park to CIC hut and then up No 3 Gully on Ben Nevis. Climbed up to just below the cornice. Found Doug's platform from last weekend's trip (thanks Doug!) and set off from there. Skied 1000ft descent to the lochan in Coire Na Ciste and met up with Jungle. Hiked up again with Jungle for a second run.
:: Weather Conditions
Blue sky day. Perfect conditions.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Excellent spring snow. Well worth the hike! Unlike No 5 the previous weekend, the snow was much better packed with no avalanche debris.
