A warm sunny day
26th March 2022
Another day of high pressure with dry settled conditions. Â Cool and frosty at glen levels first thing but as the day progressed it became pleasantly warm and sunny. Â Shaded North facing slopes are firm with serious runouts. Â Sun exposed slopes are soft and thawing at all levels. Â Cover remains good above 1000 metres, lines of cornices overhang a multitude of aspects. Â Many folk were out and about enjoying the good weather. Â Ski tourers were heading for the plateau, many hill walkers making a beeline for Ben Macdui, and a winter skills group were making the most of the firm snow in the Northern corries. Â There could be a few red faces and sun burned bodies by the end of the day!
