Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2013 10:54 pm
A ski tour over the eight highest Munros in the Cairngorms starting and finishing on Cairn Gorm. Sunny and clear with very cold east wind. Mixed conditions, good snow cover throughout. Some very fast going on hard old snow but also some great runs with soft snow on the hard base. The run down from Ben Macdui to Loch Etchachan was superb. Some skinning was tiring on the hard neve. The snow on the five kilometres to Beinn a' Bhuird across the plateau from the Lairig an Laoigh was in great condition for fast travel.
