Can anybody tell me if there is any snow in Cairngorm mountain and around to Ben Macdui? I want to walk from the ski car park but don't have winter gear just summer equipment.

Thanks.

Hey, looking at the avalanche blog it's still winter up there...

Still almost continuous snow cover on the plateau between Cairngorm and Macdui today. It's all very soft, so with sensible route choice you wouldn't need winter equipment unless it turns much colder again, but it could be quite hard going on foot.
