Yet again cairngorm mountain invented some new seasons.

Cloudy with snow in the morning. Brightened up for the afternoon.

Wind nowhere near as bad as forecast.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Packed/groomed powder. M2 full width & very quiet

Most runs a bit sketchy towards the daylodge.

White lady in great condition. Some powdery moguls were an interesting distraction (mike doesnt do icy moguls).

Plenty of powder to be found in the ciste gully.

Manmade obstacles lurking just below the snow, esp on the home road where I got a drainage channel.

Snowy grey start. Dry but foggy most of the day with a few brief clear spells. Cleared out to fine sunshine at the end of the afternoon just in time to leave...
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Icy start high up (oh for some sharp edges...). Softened later. Dusting of fresh on neve off the piste made for great, lazy skiing. Soft lower down, a bit slushy by the end of the day but not too many holes.
Shame the Coire na Ciste wasn't open (broken lift).

Every season was experienced today plus some new ones.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Ranged from 4-5cm of fresh on a nice base on the ptarmigan to heather hopping in the slush down to the daylodge.

Off piste along the ptarmigan was good.

M2 rideable to the daylodge but last 100M a bit sketchy.
