Snow cover above 600m. Tussocks showing through in many places. Some south facing slopes had a thicker layer of windblown snow. I was able to do almost the whole route with skis on.

Ben Alder from Loch Ossian
There is now a private estate road to 470m on the north bank of Uisge Labhair where there is a hydro intake. Corrour Estate offer various self catering properties. It is possible to cross the Uisge Labhair about 25m downstream of the intake or further upstream. We crossed at 530m and 555m. We took the NW facing slope west of 1056 spot height for ascent and decent as being stable and direct.
:: Weather Conditions
The best day moved as the forecast changed however we had rare bright and sunny conditions returning before clag came in late pm.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Good wide cover down to 750m with a snow/heather traverse from Bealach Cumhann for about 2km.

The Moy Wall, Creag Meagaidh.
Starting nearly 1km west of Moy near the Creag Meagaidh sign we skinned east of Lochan na Calliche then clockwise to Creag na Cailliche. We followed the wall for about 2?k and then skinned on round to the Creag Meagaidh cairn. The wall acted like a snow fence giving us sufficient width for a descent. The west facing sloped between 700m and 1000m in Moy Coire were pretty bare.

Weather
Sunday was the lull in the stormy weather.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Much of the snow we skied on came down on Friday and Saturday nights. The wall had happily stopped it all blowing away in the 130kph winds.
