Lifting cloud
17th April 2022
Another mild and windy day. Â The cloud base was around 800 metres during the morning but it slowly lifted to above the summits by mid afternoon. Â The snowpack continues to thaw at all altitudes and although soft on most aspects, the snow was firm on steep Northerly facing slopes.

Thank you for all of the updates.
They provide a wonderful service to walkers, skiers and climbers but to me, living a long way from the Cairngorms, they provide a wonderful record of the amazing natural beauty that we have in these islands.
Looking forward to the next season!
