 Was able to ski without skins from Ciste Mhearad to the summit . Yes the snow was heavy but I think it also had something to do with the state of my bases.

Sunny, warm, strong southerly breeze that was melting the snow.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Top bowl still has loads of snow and the lower Fairway was where it was most spring like and as a result quite fast.
Had a wander over to Ciste Mhearad and skied the steeper section then headed up to summit via the tor, no skins needed, and down Coronation Wall and the Cas. Although a bit heavy it was still a good run and with a bit of slipping down the bank of the Cas below the crossover skiable to mid gunbarrel.
No mid stops of the train due to maintenance but caught the 3.40pm up from the Daylodge and went back up to the summit. This time I came down the headwall but it seemed stickier than Coronation Wall.
Another great afternoon.
