Dry clear, calm with sunshine….
6th March 2026
Yesterday, mid afternoon the area had a light dusting of new snow which fell onto a moist snowpack. Colder conditions last night re-froze the moist snowpack. Today it dawned with a frost at lower levels, it was dry, bright and clear with very light summit winds, otherwise a calm day. Some photos to give you an idea of snow amounts in the area.

From Meall a’ Bhuiridh looking across to Clach Leathad.
Looking towards the Mamore peaks and Ben Nevis which is cloud covered.
Crampon prints, its a wise option as the snowpack surface is very firm and often icy and it looks like it will remain that way through the weekend.
