Gorms 24th Dec

Dashed up to Aviemore last night, in the hope of some fresh powder.

Very cold night. -12°C south of Drumochter on the drive up, but warmer at the Cairngorm car park -6°C

On the slopes at 08:30 this morning. From the top I could see into Coire an t'Sneachda and everything looks buried in snow. Think any good climbing will be out west for now.
After a number of runs on the White Lady, M1 and Traverse I started to get bored, so spent the rest of the day off piste in excellent powder down the M2 and east wall.

-9°C south of Aviemore at 15:00 on the way home.

Lets hope for some fat Creag Meagaidh and Nevis Ice.
