:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Car park to the north of the Ben Lawers visitor centre road. Skis on at the dam and skied along the road to the far end of the dam then SW onto the north ridge of Meall Nan Tarmachan (Creag an Lochain) to the summit. Summit Gully south then SE and East traverse onto the track and back to the road.
:: Weather Conditions
Generally cloudy with cloud level mostly just on or above the tops. Windy near the summit with a freezing level just on 900m. Skies cleared nicely as we left the summit at about 1.30.
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
Snow hard and sometimes icy underfoot with some windblown powder in sheltered areas above 900m. We were able to ski continuously from the dam to the summit almost back to the car although the best snow cover is on easterly aspects. Below 600m the snow was soft and collapsed easily on turns
