Bright cold and breezy
10th December 2021
After yesterday’s slightly milder temperatures the snowpack surface has become firm and icy at lower altitudes. Â For those on foot the breakable crust remains a hindrance in various locations mainly off the beaten track. Â If travelling by ski soft windslab overlies the firm snowpack in lee areas at higher altitudes; however below 700 metres, the snowpack surface is firm and icy leading to a precarious and rattly descent over lumps, bumps, glazed rock and heather.

Looking towards Coire an t-Sneachda. Drifting snow from the Westerly wind can be seen on the Fiachaill of Sneachda.
