A ski tour to Lochnagar.
5th March 2020
A similar day to yesterday. Light winds with some hill cloud and occasional sun.
Another forecaster, Gillian was visiting from the West, so we decided on a ski tour over to Lochnagar. As a journey this gave us the chance to see a number of different aspects, helping us with our general observations.

Checking out the cornices around the Spouts and Raeburns Gully. These are likely to become very unstable in the upcoming weekend thaw.

Members of Braemar Mountain Rescue were in the Corrie today. The rescue box was becoming buried and needed digging out. Good effort!

Snow cover slowly diminishing at lower levels but still plenty lines to follow for skiers. Many ridges are becoming a little clearer for walking.
