:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Cairngorm to Ben Macdui, down to Lairig Ghru via Taillears, up Cairn Toul via Coire an Saighdeir, to Auchlean via 'Tom' and 'Dick' but not 'Harry'(near Carn Ban Mor) - 25km approx 13-14 hours
:: Weather Conditions
Perfect! Blue skies with a final moonlit descent down 'Tom' and 'Dick' .
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Enough snow to get to Ben Macdui. Spring snow down Taillears with cover down to Lairig Ghru. Spring snow in Coire an Saighdeir- snow level approx 700m- this would make a very fine descent. Good cover from Cairn Toul to 'Tom' and 'Dick' - shouldered skis about three times but not for too long. Snow level on Tom and Dick down to 600m.
