A high windchill day on Fionn Bheinn – cold and part cloudy. Good snow cover overall and the hillside looks like a piste…! Many areas are well consolidated, but localised instabilities in the snowpack persist on very steep slopes, mainly South-West to North-West aspects at higher elevations. Skis or snowshoes recommended.
(Above) Naturally, the cloud came in just as I reached the summit plateau. There is a general covering of rime above 700m. Spot the ski tracks.
(Above) Looking west to the cloud covered Torridon hills; Glen Torridon on the left and Loch Maree glen on the right. Spot the skiers.
