Meall Nan Tarmachan
:: Weather ConditionsGusty all day and VERY wild on top, had to crawl to the summit cairn, just ,some spells of blue sky and the blizzard started in earnest as I got down (3ish).
:: Snow Conditions and DistrubtionSkis on from the car park, light wet covering over grass low down but improved rapidly with height and became much firmer. Had a lovely run down on windblown powder from the summit and down the Allt Tir Artair to c650m then a traverse back to car. Skis on all day apart from summit ridge.

Meall nan Maigheach (corbett) then Meall Corranaich from the cairn above the Ben Lawers visitor centre.
:: Weather ConditionsClimbed the Corbett using telemark skis and skins but hard going on soft snow. Returned to car and used Nordic skis to climb the munro. Much faster but tricky descending! excellent
:: Snow Conditions and DistrubtionSkied from the car. Snow thin but passable at lower levels. Soft snow until 2500 feet then icy patches.
:: Skiers/RidersI fear by the time you read this all the lower level snow will be gone. Neil Kitching

• View Photos •:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden From layby at (633752). Skinned from west side of railway along Coire Dhomhain track to burn junction at (622751). Cross burn and then ascent to east ridge and summit Sgairneach Mhor. Descent west to Carn Lo Loumhaidh, up Beiin Udlamain. Short steeper descent from summit down SE face for about 150 m then traverse to col bewteen BU and A Mharconaich. Climb to Summit AM and then descent via Bruach nan lomairean. Ski along track to railway line.
:: Weather ConditionsSunny, very warm at times becoming cloudier late afternoon. Snow showers to north. Fantastic views to south, west and east.
:: Snow Conditions and DistrubtionCrusty ascent but this held the weight for most of the route. Memo - lay off the pies and beer! Good snow on descent of Sgairneach Mhor and almost spring snow on steeper descent of SE aspect of Beinn Udlamain. Snow thawing on ascent to A Mharconaich which made descent tricky down Bruach nan lomairean in deeper snow at lower level.
