Moderate stability.

There were some snow showers around last night and it didn't take to long to find some unstable windslab. In fact there had been a small avalanche on a N aspect at 100m level. Initially with poor visibility some care was required with the route choice. If you haven't read this before it's worth 5 minutes of your time.

Exposed areas were firm

Worth  it for the views today- ski-touring would be awesome up high. I think the Glenshee skiers were enjoying themselves.

Great plateau cover. A few cm's of soft on a hard base.
