New Wind Slab Building
29th January 2015
Fresh snow to greet my arrival at Creag Meagaidh car park and the outrigger of Sron a Ghoire looking good under a full covering, with plumes of spindrift on skyline ridges – results of which soon to be experienced underfoot in localised high, lee sheltered areas. Still some fairly extensive scouring on exposed hillsides and in our plateau areas from recent strong winds. Early starts needed in current conditions!

Plumes of windblown snow kicking off high ridgelines
Mountaineering group heading up Cairn Liath direction – some drifts to enjoy before scoured upper sections!
Early bird ski tourers blazed a welcomed trail for me towards Coire Ardair – thanks!
Some small sun on snow, cornice triggered avalanche events – E aspect 800m
Easy shears underfoot in new slab

Theres a good bit fresh snow and so much more at lower levels this year for extended periods that there has been for a few years it seems.

They were our tracks. Glad you found them useful!
