Short Cut trail, Haute Route, Timberline snowfield, Snowgoose, Haute Route, Short Cut trail.

Temp minus 3C at 11.30am at Car Park at 360m. Probably colder in valley!
Fresh SW'ly wind causing slight drifting on exposed areas. No precipitation.

From conditions observed it is reasonable to say all trails complete. Most have not been skied recently, but snow was compacting well under tramlines. Snow conditions: slow but slidey powder. Depth 0.5-0.6m on trails, 0.6-0.7m on Timberline snowfield. Area seems to have been too far west to catch the past two days' snowfalls, hence only modest increase in depth, but who's complaining! Open hill uniformly white -- should make for superb touring if and when it stabilises and consolidates further. See "Clashindarroch conditions 2010-2011" thread re road and car park.

Haute Route via Highland Fling

Started of dry with cloud at about the level of the higher tracks with car park temp of +2C. Ended with wet snow at the car park and temp of around 1C and falling.

Softening during the day to a nice sugary spring snow, best where pisted. Piste machine was run around the Haute Route.
