CairnGorm Mountain - Sat 21st Jan 2006
Posted by: h11lly at 20.45hrs on Sat 21st Jan 06
:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Skinned from the zig zags up the traverse to the summit. Skied off the Macdui side of the summit which was icy, and traversed back to the foot of Ciste Mhearaid. Skinned up and skied back down where there was lovely smooth powder. Went back up and down Marquis Wells which was also nice to ski on at the top. The traverse was drifted but I cut over to the Fiaciall side of the Cas tow and there were some lovely patches to ski. I managed to ski to the end of the first zig zag.
:: Weather Conditions
NO wind ! Clear with good visibility. Snow was melting at the foot of the Cas about 750 metres
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Snow was patchy, and varied from boilerplate to soft drifted powder.I would not like to have tackled it without fitted skins and ski crampons
I've sent photos to Alan
