Stretched the ol' legs on the Lovat Scout Loop. HS 30-50cm, top 10-15cm Fist facets on top of a sometimes supportive ~10cm 4F +/- layer on top of Fist to ground. Lots of whumphing with obvious propagation >5m, and cracking around skis on mellow open and trees slopes. Top 15cm would ski well if it weren't for all the rocks and trees sticking through. Goal of the day was to enjoy some fresh air and enjoy the views so it was a success. If you head to the hills with goals that do not include skiing you will have an excellent time.
