Fantastic deep fresh powder - on Southerly aspects, firmer on ridge for perfect for skiing up on.

Huntly Nordic Outdoor Centre to The Bin Forest. Bit of skiing around the centre on the downhill slope, dry mat and around the rollerski track. All were great with anice layer of snow. Then headed to The Bin via the the path along the Deveron. Short ski through The Bin including a really nice steep slope, which was great coming back down. Retraced route .

Brown Cow Hill from Cock Bridge
:: Weather Conditions
Overcast, cloud base around 4000ft. Good visibility, moderate W wind. Above freezing at all levels.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Excellent cover on most aspects. Thaw in progress, snow wet and sticky. Easy travel conditions on skins, but a bit disappointing on the downhill.
