High winds were forecast all weekend and with the avalanche hazard high due to the large dumps of snow I decided to give climbing a miss and instead had a brillant day cross country ski-ing around Badguish (10.5km in a very leisurely 3hs). The cover was a bit thin under the trees, but it was a fantastic day under blue skies, pleasant temperatures and decent snow. Higher up in the corries the winds were high,but some friends reported less snow than expected (and managed to get a good route done). 
Today, despite the forecast, I headed up with Rob to see about getting a route done in the corries. At the car park it was wet and very windy so we couldn't even be motivated to leave the car so we headed back to Inverness via the cafe in Aviemore. Much of the snow has melted and with fairly warm temperatures forecast the burns will be up in no time.
