Another cracking day on the skis, Dez and I couldn't believe our luck! Today we did a shorter tour ascend up to the right of Ciste gully on to Cairngorm summit in blazing alpine sunshine with no wind and nobody around. We met only a few cheeky Snow buntings, a pair of Ptarmigans, a dog, two other tourers and a group of walkers descending of Cairngorm that was it!
So peaceful and energizing it was and with another dream descend for this time of the year we couldn't beat our luck. Despite the temperature rising throughout the afternoon and the snow definitely transforming it was still surprisingly good on the N side of the summit and so was the snow on the whole of the descent really right until the Ciste car park.
The temperature is still rising and the weather changing ever so slightly but hopefully we don't loose to much of the good stuff. Well I am away to Holland early tomorrow morning. See use when back.
XX Chris
