I have just returned from a two day ski touring trip in the Cairngorms with the Falkirk High Tops Team. Yesterday, we skied from the ski centre car park to the summit of Ben Macdui before descending to the Shelter Stone. We spent the night here before continuing our tour via Coire Raibert, the summit of Cairn Gorm and our final descent via the pistes back to the ski centre.
Conditions for ski touring are currently excellent. We only removed our skis for a short section of the two days to climb one steep slope in crampons. The plateau was completley covered and the pistes gave excellent skiing.
