:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Braeriach. Walked in via Rothiemurchus lodge then up Sron na Lairige. Skied West Gully and Central Buttress Gully in Coire Bhrochain, using East Gully as ascent route. Descent via Coire an Lochain - skied off the west shoulder then walked back underneath the boulder fields to the larig path and the lodge.
:: Weather Conditions
Fantastic bright and cold morning. Cloud formed by midday, but generally stayed off the tops and was well broken with good sunny spells. Cloud thickened later in the afternoon with showers of snow and hail.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Great spring snow in Coire Bhrochain.
