 Descending from West Kip looking for snow not affected by the wind
|  Where has yesterday's powder gone?

 Ah, that's better..... HighRustler making some powder turns on West Kip
|  Tree skiing anyone?

 View from the summit of West Kip, the wind has stripped a lot of the snow from near the summit but it's still perfectly skiable

:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
As yesterday. Ascent from Nine Mile Burn to West Kip, returning by route of ascent.
:: Weather Conditions
1c at car. Strong E wind, c 40mph on exposed ridges. Visibility good out of spindrift.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Slight thaw at lower levels. Thin crust forming on lower slopes making for slightly trickier skiing. Strong E wind has dramatically changed the snow cover stripping the snow from any exposed ridges or slopes. Good snow still to be found in sheltered areas, albeit a little more wind affected than yesterday.
