Circuit of Dundreich and Jeffries Corse from Portmore Reservoir.

Cold (-10 at the start), light winds on summit, overcast but good visibility.

Deep and unconsolidated on the tracks and fields. Firmer on some of the summit slopes.

Rubers Law. Just to the south of Denholm, about 5kms east of Hawick. Northern approach route from Denholm village.

Sunny but on the edge of the snow showers with the odd one or two coming over. It is dumping further east - Cheviots looked like they are taking big hit

Mixed. Wind crust near the summits but powder on west facing slopes and gulleys. Fields on the approach/descent are perfect light dry powder...mmm
Skis on from village all the way, apart from the odd fence. Deep cover of over 1 foot with big drifts higher up

Flotterstone to Turnhouse hill. Did the descent twice taking different lines.

Overcast and a biting cold wind on the summit. Brightened up later on though.
Mustnt grumble though : )

Beautiful snow with no effort to turn on. Can skin up from the carpark easily.

Very scoured on the ridges. Theres also a little bit of windslab about but nothing that looked like it was going to slide.

Dundreich, from the Scotch Pine Tea Room car park in Harcus (nr. Eddleston) on the A 703 Edinburgh?Peebles Road. Skins on at the car, ski up road to Boreland Farm, then rough line of track to summit. Return over Milky Law.

Clear blue ski until 14: 00 then dark high cloud with a very few snow flakes.

Fresh fluffy powder lower down but surprisingly crusty higher up above earlier inversions where the sun and wind have hardened the snow a bit. Final steepish descent from Milky Law in wonderful deep snow.
