Report
:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Sron na Gaoithe from A93/Sean Spittal.
:: Weather Conditions
Low cloud, SW wind. Freezing level around 500m, snow down to 300m. Ground starting to freeze up but still active burns and melt through at 750m. Some springs still active. Poor pics; sorry, camera batt empty so had to resort to phone.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Wanted to nip out after this morning's storm and see what conditions are like. Good cover now on north facing slopes and you can ski back to road. Occasional view to Glas Maol; looks really loaded and brief glimpses of high tops (Ben Avon). Good to see the new snow...but we still need the mother of all snow storms to ensure good spring touring!
