Sunny Days.
6th February 2015
It was a fine and sunny day in Glen Coe today. There was no distinct foreign level. In shady locations the temperature remained below freezing at all levels, while on Southerly aspect the temperature rose above freezing, and the snow began to soften. Overall the snowpack is quite variable, I came across hard neve, breakable crust, windslab and softening spring snow on Beinn Fhada today.
The video above shows the panorama from Beinn Fhada.
The snow was quite variable. On this Southerly aspects it was softening in the heat of the sun, which did allow for quite fine bum-slide descent.
Stob Coire and Lochan. Ice forming on the Mome Raths face.
Bidean nam Bian and the head of the lost valley.
The Achintore Face, all too often streaked in water, streaked in ice today.
