Another cold and frosty start to the day but soon warming in the direct sun shine. The snow pack is beginning to consolidate but we have an underlaying weakness and steep temperature gradient within the snow pack. Despite the bright sun shine we still have a surprising amount of snow here in the North-West. We have remaining localised instabilities on high steep terrain especially on North-East to South-East aspects. For skiers dropping in from coire rims into the top of steep terrain the first few turn may well be dodgy and for climber exiting out from the tops of climbs on to coire rims – choose you exit lines carefully.
