Dry and Bright
9th March 2026
A relatively dry and bright day in Glencoe after some showers in the first part of the morning. The snow was very firm at higher elevations, softening below 850 metres.
Northerly facing coires continue to hold snow well despite the absence of snow at lower elevations in the glen. Icy patches remain with consequential run outs into bare ground, or exposed rocks and boulders on some crag aprons.
Coire na Tulaich, Buachaille Etive Mor holding snow on Northerly aspects.
A fleeting view into Coire Gabhail (aka the Lost Valley), again holding snow despite the spring like feel at glen level.
Stob Coire nan Lochan. Summit Buttress with Broad Gully and Forked Gully to the right.
Stob Coire nam Beith. The continual line of snow just to the right of the summit is Summit Gully (I/II), one of the longest routes in the glen at 450 metres.
Dry and bright at Glen Coe Ski Area, with good visibility at lower elevations.
