:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Ben Alder from Loch Ossian
There is now a private estate road to 470m on the north bank of Uisge Labhair where there is a hydro intake. Corrour Estate offer various self catering properties. It is possible to cross the Uisge Labhair about 25m downstream of the intake or further upstream. We crossed at 530m and 555m. We took the NW facing slope west of 1056 spot height for ascent and decent as being stable and direct.
:: Weather Conditions
The best day moved as the forecast changed however we had rare bright and sunny conditions returning before clag came in late pm.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Good wide cover down to 750m with a snow/heather traverse from Bealach Cumhann for about 2km.
