Little change in the snowpack from yesterday other than there is the lightest of dusting of new snow above 750m. which fell in the early hours this morning during a period of patchy drizzle. The snow is firm in all locations, very firm at summit level, patchy below 800m. and well bonded and stable throughout.
(Above) Sgurr Breac and A’ Chailleach in the Fannaichs. The cloud base was between 800m and 900m., lifting later in the day to give some sunny spells. Loch a’ Bhraoin is at 250m. elevation.
(Above) Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich. Most snow remains on NW to NE aspects above 800m. Sgurr Mor is in the background on the right.
