Anyone know what the conditions in Glen clova are at the moment? Know it is normally better later in the season but would it be worth a look?
Cheers

Anyone know what the snow conditions are like in the Clova area? Possibility of a bit of skiing around there?

Just phoned the rangers office. They say is's been snowing for "a while/few days" (?)down to the car park. I think it's meant to turn colder there, if not already, but obviously still have no real idea of conditions! ?

In reply to tlbno1:

Skiing wise: The plateau cover looked very good, from what we could see (we didn't top out of our route). The gullies are full of powdery snow.

Climbing wise: Turf lower down totally unfrozen in Fee. Higher up it was pretty much the same, although some exposed turf was ok. Buttresses black. Look C is not in, no climbable ice in the corrie. A and B gullys are full, but we avoided them.

Hope this helps, skiing will be amazing once the weather settles.

Cheers

Fin
