I doubt if you'd get anywhere near it. Also the deep soft snow on the hill would make for a long tiring day, you'd be better to wait until it has consolidated a bit.

Snowing there now and forecast to continue until late this evening. Although tomorrow will be milder, I think the road could still be bad in the morning. Looking at the forecast, if I were going out tomorrow, I would go further east and choose a route off a main road: e.g. Glen Shee area.
