Caenlochan forest: upper car park at Glenshee - Glas Maol - Monega Hill - Glass Burn - skinned over Little Glas Maol ridge to ski upper Glen Righty - Sron Riabhach - over Glas Maol again - down the red run to Coire Fionn -skinned up Meall Odhar - car park
:: Weather Conditions
Think you've already got this!
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Complete cover for entire route. Mostly quite firm, a little breakable crust on south and west facing aspects, plenty of powder in the hollows. A great day except for leaving our poles behind in the car park (see Glenshee lost poles thread!). Will try to get some photos up tomorrow.

Glas Maol from ski centre car park. Little skiable snow on summit so didn't go beyond NW ridge
:: Weather Conditions
Blue skies, warm but with a fresh southerly wind on the tops.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Patches of snow on Sunnyside, better on Meall Odhar and Glas Maol, best cover in Coire Fionn. Nice spring snow throughout, but melting rapidly in the warm sun. Saw at least one barbecue being lit on the drive home.
