hiked along the Spink ridge in Glendalough Sunday
A dusting of snow there, similar to 2nd pic above. Air temp -3, v strong winds made it feel v cold. Quiet dangerous underfoot on the wooden sleepers, due to compacted snow.

Fattes13, ye I think thats what it's called, surprising that the road was clear the whole way, well done South County Dublin CC! Enjoy skiing with lifts, although looks like Dublin has more snow than alot of the Austria for one.
kendub, no idea? but let us know if you find out. What would Glendalough skiing possibilities be?
johnboy, it's some cold spell alright, glad my heating works.

Climbed most of Camaderry (deep snow made it v slow going)
Road to Glendalough 95% clear
Wicklow Way closed, although we saw drivers driving it easily
Snow 1m in drifts, average 1foot - 2foot

frank4short, How long do you think it will take to summit with ski gear and deep snow? If you plan another hike this weekend I'd be up for it.

My spelling of it may be wrong, but if you are in Glendalough and climb the spink walk, the one with sleepers it straight accross from you.
To get to it, walk the miners path, climb uphill, go past the wooden bridge, say 300m, and then it would be over your rh shoulder
The "piste" is lowish down in Glendalough, so wouldnt take long to get there from the car park. Its called the blue walk, I'd say skis might sink in it, not much of a gradient. Snowboard might work

kendub, Is that not the trail up to the spink?
Oh & by the way it's camaderry not comaderry.
I was one of the climbers on Brandon last week, well actually if truth be told i'd broken my hand & the climbers were all my mates. Had it not been for the hand thing i'd have brought my skis, gutted i didn't now. Got the all clear on a second x-ray yesterday though so the weekend's going to be spent skiing & ice climbing in wicklow.
