New dump of snow on Cairngorm Mountain

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009
Fiacaill Ridge, Cairngorm
Fiacaill Ridge, Cairngorm

There has been a fall of snow overnight with drifting in places…Cairngorm Mountain is white again!  The piste bashers are out in force to piste out large drifts.  Runs have improved considerably overnight!

The British Army Championships are taking place on Cairngorm all week so look out for the racers.
Half term is over so the crowds have dispersed making this weekend a great time for a last minute break to Aviemore or one of the surrounding villages for a winter wonderland experience.  Snow is forecast for the next 5 days with sunny spells in between.  Check out www.visitcairngorms.com for accommodation options.
