A calmer day
29th December 2023
A much calmer day today and a chance to see the snow accumulations from recent storms. After a brief spell warmer temperatures yesterday the snowpack is consolidating and has a widespread breakable crust. Snowfall last night and today was on light winds and there is a covering of fresh snow on all aspects above 450 metres. The cloud was covering the tops when I was at the top only lifting when I got back down! Hopefully the photos give a good idea of snow cover though. A return to strong winds again tomorrow. The recent fresh snow will be redistributed as the Easterly winds pick up during the morning.

The final approach to Spidean Coire na Each, Beinn Eighe. This is as good as the summit views got.
Starting to clear on the descent. Stuc Coire an Laoigh.
