:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Corryhabbie Hill
(Note that most of the pictures come from the previous days aborted attempt)
Took the walkers route up from Ellvried farm. Skins on from the beginning.
Farmer's tractor made for a nice track to begin with but it soon deteriorated due to snow melt and sheep s**t!
Skinned up to the summit overtaking 2 rather "annoyed" walkers who must have had some entertainment breaking trail.
Same route back down but tried to contour round some of the flat bits with no success resulting in much walking for me.
Two other parties out touring.
:: Weather Conditions
Overcast. Cloud just above the summit.
F/L probably above the summit.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
It had all the sliding properties of superglue. I think we manged 3 or 4 turns in total as we seemed to do the same speed no matter what gradient the slope was!
(Snow conditions confirmed by the other parties on the hill so it wasnt just us!)
Still loads of it though. Knee deep in places.
