Fantastic Early Season Conditions

Had a wee wander up towards Coire An T-Sneachda. It is great to see a good snow cover this early in the season. Thinking of recent winters, this would have to be the best start we had in about 8 years. It was pretty hard going because all the snow was still very powdery and...
