This blog is intended to provide hazard and mountain condition information to help plan safer mountain trips.
(Above) An alpine looking Coire a Chriochairein today. Very strong winds creating plumes of re-distributed snow around coire rims throughout the day; some of this will have sublimated to atmosphere but some will have re-formed as slab in high lee locations.
(Above) Creag Meagaidh’s Post Face. The upper sections in particular looking well plastered. A change is on the way as a warmer airflow begins to affect the area overnight; both rain and snow in the forecast during this next period. As Freezing levels rise to summits and, if accompanied by any rain – then transitional wet snow avalanches are likely.
