Car park to Lurchers to just wets summit Cairn Lochan to Macdhui. Descent to Garbh Uisge Mor to lochans and then back over to Lochan Buidhe to Cairn Lochan and top of Lurchers to car park.

everything including the kitchen sink. good visability until just short of plateau, then intermittent whiteout with interesting navigation. cler for descent from Cairn Lochan to Lurchers.

good powdery snow lower down with some soft slab of 7cm. Areas of wind scoured neve and some blue ice on exposed aspects to NE. Powder in sheltered locations to S - SW but snow warmed up and became sticky late afternoon. Good skiing in Lurchers but slabby near bottom. High avalanche risk on steeper E through to S slopes.

Not sure whether to put this in the Public reports or here! Toured up from Ciste carpark to Ptarmigan Cafe. Skied back down between the west wall poma and the old chair.

Lovely shelter in the gully but wild on the top. One of the forecasted snow showers which lasted for four hours!

Fantastic. 3-4 inches fresh on top of firm hard base.

Fron cas car park , up fiacall ridge,round tops of northern corries and down lurchers gully.

Cold with snow showers, poor vis on plateau but good coming down lurchers. Cloud lifting to around 900m.

Very good snow conditions from car park (650m), plateau cover excellent and lurchers brilliant. Skied back to within 10 mins of car park on snow strip form bottom of lurchers.
Snow hard base with fresh/soft snow on top, softer below 700m.
Snow should last a while on plateau areas.
