 1st turns on Sgairneach Mhor ! Fiona is in winter walking boots hence the interesting technique.

:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
From layby 79 on the A9 headed up Sgairneach Mhor and then Beinn Udlamain. From there dropped back down to Coire Dhomain and then walked bac kto the car.
:: Weather Conditions
High clouds (probably a forerunner to the weather front) but plenty of sun and blue skies as well.
Below freezing at the car at 10am.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Bullet proof snow! Could barely leave a bootprint in it. Enough big patches to play in but not to stay on planks for too long and still bag the 2 munros.
Looked enough if you just wanted to go up Sgairneach Mhor and then head back down. Could use softening up though!
:: Skiers/Riders
