:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Enticed by sight from the A9 near Dalwinnie of snow on Ben Alder and headed up towards Gael Charn. Did the headwall of Coire Cheap twice on different lines. Best vertical only 200m; views indicated that Ben Alder, Meall a Bhuirdhe, the Mamores and Nevis Range probably offered better. I walked out via Carn Dearg to bag a second Munro. A Dutch couple that I passed asked me whether I intended to use the skis for sliding, and were content with my reply that I use them for crossing burns.
