20-30cm of new, heavy, wet, sticky snow. A good workout up to Red Heather hut, but lots of large tree bombs on the skin track. Too wet and heavy to wind drift on the meadow slopes, but the new snow is hiding terrain traps that were exposed a week ago. Slow and sticky on the downhill.

Weather

Freezing level around 850m - raining at the lower parking lot, snowing at the upper parking lot.
