Climbers gondola, then down to and across Alt Daim by ice bridge and up to Carn Beag Dearg and on to Carn Mor Dearg. Dropped down into the top of Coire Giubhsachan and up to Aonach Beag col (skis off and kicking steps most of the way up in deep crusty snow).

Beautiful day though started to clag in a bit mid-afternoon.

Variable

We were missing a last day out with the end of the winter coming early so we decided to go hunting for snow anyway. We had a fantastic day out though it was a long way to the snow. We carried from the Nevis Range gondola station round to Coire an Lochain. We had in mind to ski the gully south from the col between Stob an Chul Choire but there was no snow. We enjoyed a boot up the ridge beside Summit Gully and stunning views from the summit. Funnily enough we had the slopes to ourselves for the return through the ski area.

Dry, clear and mainly sunny

The snow for the downhill was great. We could have done with more early in the day!

Bluebird, def hotter than yesterday maybe by 5c

Vallee Verte interesting! Ridge to top of CMD great condition and could skin almost to the top. CMD bowl was fantastic great spring snow with a wee ice layer high up in places 10 out of 10 all day long.
