:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Short Cut trail, Haute Route, Timberline snowfield, Snowgoose, Haute Route, Short Cut trail.
:: Weather Conditions
Temp minus 3C at 11.30am at Car Park at 360m. Probably colder in valley!
Fresh SW'ly wind causing slight drifting on exposed areas. No precipitation.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
From conditions observed it is reasonable to say all trails complete. Most have not been skied recently, but snow was compacting well under tramlines. Snow conditions: slow but slidey powder. Depth 0.5-0.6m on trails, 0.6-0.7m on Timberline snowfield. Area seems to have been too far west to catch the past two days' snowfalls, hence only modest increase in depth, but who's complaining! Open hill uniformly white -- should make for superb touring if and when it stabilises and consolidates further. See "Clashindarroch conditions 2010-2011" thread re road and car park.
