Cairngorm Mountain 2nd March 2010

Today was really great in the end but at first there were not many tows open only the Fiacaill ridge poma and the Car part T bar. the Digging had stopped on the funicular as they were going to blast the snow above the Coronation wall. We stopped to watch and nothing happened…..I think that we were expecting a massive avalanche but it was a bit of a damp squid. As we were watching someone didn’t feet the pomma back in and it put the tow out of action for a while. Luckily they opened the Corrie Cas T bar so we could play on that. the queues were quite large so we went over to the day lodge poma. there were not queues and we had a brilliant time going up and down there for a while. late on tin the day they opened up the M1 poa and so we got up to the top. the ptarmigan building was almost completely covered in snow. We went down the track side and the M1 and then the M2 absolutely brilliant.

Roger had cold feet despite having his heated insoles! they ran out of power before the end of the day. I was pleased that my heal injury coped with two days skiing.
