Glen Etive
25th March 2025
Todays site for observations was Beinn Maol Chaluim a Corbett in Glen Etive. This gave a chance to look at the Glen Etive hills and the South side of Bidean nam Bian and neighbouring hills. The highest tops remained in the clouds but there was enough visibility to see there is very little snow here, most slopes are bare ground with only a few small patches on steep North to East facing slopes. The largest snow patches remain on the North to East facing slopes of our highest hills and these will have changed very little since yesterdays blog photos were taken. Another dry day is forecast for Wednesday followed by a front bringing rain on Thursday with the potential for some snow on the very highest tops, colder conditions with snow showers as the front clears on Friday.

A closer look at Stob Coir an Albannaich, Glen Etive, with only a few snow patches on the very steep North-East facing slopes.
Meall nan Eun at 928m on the left, if you look closely there are a couple of very small snow patches near the summit, but it is nearly snow free.
Unfortunately the tops of Bidean nam Bian and Stob Coire Sgreamhach remained stubbornly in the clouds.
