Meall Ghaordie. The usual slog up to the summit from the south - returned via the same route.

Fantastic - clear blue skies and sun. -5 in the glen at 9am, -3 at 4pm

Snow level started about 20 minutes walk up from the road. Loads of snow everywhere - generally a couple of inches of powder on a frozen layer, so not the easiest walking for the unfortunate snowboarder. Summit cone was not in condition to ski - too many sastrugi. Snow was definately better in the morning, but still had an enjoyeable descent to the fence line in the afternoon.
