Wait and see nearer the time. We had lot's of snow last year then a rapid thaw. In the end those (me) who carried spikes and ice axe did not need them.

There is excited comment in the skiing world that the snow will still be here in June. Something to do with global warming I expect.

There's maybe plenty of snow right on top, but there's been a remarkable lack of it lower down this year, even the roads that usually close have had a quiet winter. There's also claims that we have had the wettest winter for however many years, this little corner of Aberdeenshire must have missed that too, its been the mildest, driest winter i can mind of for years, bit of a shame really.
