Cheers. It was epic. Skied all the way out with a little hike to braveheart, then a traverse back round out the corries where you could ski down to great glen chair back across/take the path to alpha button with just a wee hike through the mud and peat.
Anyway, to the skiing; fuck me it was good. You have a drop in off some serious cornice action, a really steep entry for maybe 10 metres then it mellows a bit, with this whole empty face full of freshies.
Really recommend adding nevis range/ a guy called 'mark back corries' on facebook and getting the updates as to how the corries are looking, then just coming up for the weekend. My mate sacked dropping in, and I waited at the bottom for half an hour for him, no phone signal, and in the morning it was too foggy to go right over to the summit stuff, so just dropped into chancer - even chancer is an amazing run, really nice and steep, powder and you can lap the braveheart chair for the morning.
Anyway what I'm trying to say is even with the foggy morning, and a half hour wait, and not being first on the hill as we didn't leave glasgow till 7.15, we still got 2 drops into spikes, and a so 2 really good backcountry rides, plus a drop into chancer and loads of laps on the braveheart chair. Was back at my door by 7pm.
Brilliant.
