Easiest -
Cairngorm. Park at the ski centre upper carpark and follow the path up Sron an Aonaich past the Ptarmigan and onto the summit.
Bynack Mor. Park at Glenmore Lodge. Follow the path to just before the bothy, signed to Braemar.Ignore any other splits at the burn until on the plateau around 780m. South to the summit ridge and pick the highest of the tors.
You can make this a circuit if feeling fit, descending to the Saddle from Bynack mor and then pick your way up to Cairngorm from there.
Lots of more interesting ways, especially to cairngorm. A circuit over the northern corries is good.
Also starting from the lower car park, up Coire na Ciste and over the munro top of Cnap Coire na Spreidhe to Cairngorm gives an interesting approach.
Couldn't comment on underfoot conditions, not been up there for a few months. Generally high up on the cairngorms is very good. Likely to still be snowfields.
Enjoy.
