Snow report for Clashindarroch — 11am, Friday 10th December:

Trails have 30-45cm of snow. Good skiing on tramlines, slow elsewhere except on Timberline snowfield, which was evenly wind-packed with a user-friendly surface.

Temp at Car Park plus 6C. W-NW’ly gale blowing, but because of the rise in temperature the snow was no longer drifting. Wind has broken the uniform cover on the nearby hills, but there is still widespread cover on the NE-E side of the Buck.

A941 from Rhynie was black, but affected by meltwater, as was the A97. Front section of car park remained clear but was very icy underfoot.
