Skinning the sliver!

Report
:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
The watershed of Glen Turret. Starting at the dam, walking to Allt Choinneachain burn where I picked up a sliver of snow, not 30 mins from car. Skin up Choinneachain Hill on good snow, descend on thin up and down to Auchnafree Hill. Heather skiing down and across Moine Bheag. Steep skin up Biorach a Mhearnain - slog up onto Ben Chonzie, then across plateau in this conditions to Carn Chois (note Allt nen Columan is good for holding snow). Descend to dam. General recommendation - snow would have been nice!
:: Weather Conditions
Glorious morning, but weather approaching from lunch time on. Huge halo round the sun for an hour or so.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Snow accumulated in SW slopes and gullies, but NW slopes pretty bare (these were my main descents!).
