Calm, bright and sunny….
27th February 2025
After a relatively cold, dry night which gave a slight frost in the glens it dawned bright and sunny particularly in the more inland part of Glencoe. It remained dry, winds were light to moderate from a Westerly direction, freezing level was around 700 metres.
The glen had a feel that ‘spring was in the air’ today.
Meall a’ Bhuiridh this morning.
Stob Dearg and Coire na Tulaich much clearer today.
Northerly aspect of Stob Dearg.
Mostly the Easterly aspect of Buachaille Etive Mor, Stob Dearg the higher summit on the right.
Sron na Creise and Stob a’ Ghlais Choire 996 metres.
Easterly aspect of Meall a’ Bhuiridh holding isolated pockets of poorly bonded windslab.
Some ski tourers were out today on Meall a’ Bhuiridh. Note the small cornices from by the strong winds early this week.
I met this group of winter mountaineers this morning who were enjoying the fair weather and snow conditions they were also fans of the SAIS blogs.
On the right the start of the Aonach Eagach ridge, the snowy buttress on the left is Aonach Dubh.

We, the Polaris Mountaineering Club, are all fans of SAIS blogs. They add some much useful information to the Avalanche reports, as well as a healthy dose of humour.
More than 20 members will be making our annual pilgrimage to the Highlands on Saturday for week.
Keep up the excellent work!
