Report
:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Glenshee to Glas Maol. From Glenshee carpark carried to bottom of Caenlochan tow and skinned up the uptrack. Had to carry again as far as the summit dome of Glas Maol. Was short of time so returned via the Glas Maol red (on lovely soft and untouched spring snow complete to the lifts in Coire Fionn). Hoofed up by the Fionn pomas & managed to ski to not far from the Odhar cafe, plus a short section on sunnyside.
:: Weather Conditions
30-40 mph wind, FL above summits. Cloud at carpark level, but cleared just as I started the descent : -)
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Glas Maol gullies still loaded with beautiful creamy spring down to the lifts. Not a whole lot elsewhere in the ski area, although still some massive drifts. Expect other gullies on same aspect equally loaded, but hoofing required to reach.
