A breezy day.
18th March 2022
A clear day with no precipitation. Â Strong South-Westerly winds with drifting snow at higher levels. Â Unstable windslab accumulations remain a hazard. Â A small slough was observed this morning from the steep convex North facing slope at the top of the Goat Track. Â Even if caught in a small avalanche it could be enough to sweep someone off their feet and potentially rattle down into serious terrain below. Â Apart from these localised areas of unstable windslab the overall snowpack is firm and stable.
See the most update avalanche report for more details. https://www.sais.gov.uk/northern-cairngorms/

Looking up the Fiachaill Cas ridge. Unstable windslab accumulations have developed below the coire rim from the Cas head wall to the Cas ridge.

A crown wall from a small slough can be seen at the top of the goat track, Fiachaill Buttress to the right. Coire an Lochain behind displaying some impressive cornices.
