Beinn Eighe, Torridon
2nd April 2022
A glorious day. After a frosty start, it quickly warmed in the sun and the new snow cover ‘burnt off” at lower levels. But it remained cold at summit elevations and on shaded Northerly aspects.

(Above) Roller balls. By late morning, the sun was strong enough to have an effect on the soft new snow.
(Above) The Southerly aspects of Sgurr Ban and Sgurr nan Fhir Duibhe. The snowline was creeping upwards as the new snow thawed in the direct sunlight.
