Glencoe 'Back Corries' circuit - from Meall a Bhuiridh Summit along the ridge onto Creise, then Clach Leathad then ski down Sron nam Forsair taking a line into Allt Coire an Easain near to the loch of that name. Head over to the col between Meall a Bhuiridh and Creag an Fhirich before putting the skis on again and enjoying a good run down the Allt Creagan Nam returning to the ski centre by the West Highland Way This was a short c4hr trip from the ski centre though without lift ticket a couple more ours would probably have been needed.

Sunny periods and light winds. Snow soft below c 1,000m with freezing level c800m or thereabouts. Temp 6c in car park at end of day - 6.30pm

The ridge to Creise looked interesting and crampons might have been useful but in retrospect added weight and not essential. Snow on Clach Leathad had a spring like feel and definitely so on the descent while final descent down the Allt Creagan Nam was classic Scottish sprind skiing and finding the best line to get as close to the WH Way as possible. In reality c100m of vertical so pretty good.
