In reply to niallk:
Up there yesterday, Friday, (walking) you'll have a very great deal of walking indeed and a little skiing coming off Stob Gabhar descending north. Most of the connecting ridges are completely snow free. There's some cornicing left on the ridge heading up to SG to skin up for a bit.
Really in all practical terms its a non-starter, saying that, there's always someone game to do it!
There were a few old ski tracks still visible, but only above 850m.
The northern corries of SG still have some fair descents if that's your thing and the central gully was full of steep soft snow down to the lochan. It would be a long way to go on foot but some folk would do it, just not me!
