I joined my friend Bryn in the Cairngorms today for a day of ski touring. We arrived at about 9:00am this morning to find the two upper car parks already full. We skinned up Cairngorm avoiding the large lift queues and then headed over the plateau above Sneachda and Lochain before descending below Lochain. The snow on the plateau was pretty cruddy with a breakable crust making the skiing hard work but the descent from Lochain to the car park was a joy and took just 10 minutes! We had some stunning views and the snowcover is brilliant.
