 Top of Lurchers. Long shadows. Firm grippy surface with pockets of windblown powder
|  Four piste runs to finish off.

 Looking back at Lurchers on my return
|  Lurchers Crag

 Lairig Ghru. One of my favourite views that changed as the sun moved and lit different areas.

:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
From the top of the Fiaciall Ridge poma I headed over linking the best patches to Lurchers Gully. Skins on and up to the ledge overlooking the Lairig Ghru. Skied back down the gully cutting over to the path leading to the ski centre. Apart from a very short carry I could get right back on skis. Finished off with 4 runs on the FR poma which by then was empty.
:: Weather Conditions
Sunny, moderate wind blowing down the gully that picked up as I was out. Below freezing
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
The snow that had melted at these levels yesterday had frozen but the surface was grippy. Some stashes of wind blown powder in the gully.
