:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
A quick tour up Ben Rinnes from the Southern car parking area. Stopped shy of the summit and traversed North and then down one of the burn lines to the landrover tack and onwards to the road.
:: Weather Conditions
Lovely bright day with a bit of a breeze, but nothing crazy.
Ran out of time and light to reach the summit and return safely, so took the route mentioned above.
Freezing level down below the car at 450m the whole time.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Skins on from the car and just a few rocks to avoid on the way up.
Unconsolidated wind blown powder with no base whatsoever as you would expect, but a nice wee trip for my first of the season.
