Day 3 for Ric on his winter course with me this week. A beautiful clear skies morning over the Cairngorms.  The string winds soon got going on the loose snow,  plenty of wind blown snow getting chucked about. Super snow cover across the Northern Cairngorms with any wind blown areas having some excellent water ice and refrozen snow. Very  busy at Coire Cas with the car parks almost full when we arrived. Up on the hil was also busy with plenty of folk walking, climbing and ski touring. By mid day the winds picked up even stronger and some cloudcover. Full on winter conditions coming down Lurchers. The lower trail below the Northern Corries was well covered in fresh snow. Another top day in the hills. Love the wild conditions.
