A beautiful day.
18th January 2025
It was good to get some views at last to the summits today in the better weather. Confirmation of the fact that there is, to all intents and purposes, no snow left in the Torridon range.
Hence the suspension of Avalanche hazard reports will continue until the conditions change. It does not look likely that this will change in the next few days, but we will continue to review it on a daily basis. We will also continue to post weather information on the report page.
However, it was a stunning day for a walk today up onto a lovely hill just over 700 metres in height that has amazing views into the North side of the Torridon range, as well as stunning views North.
The weather is forecast to be similar tomorrow, so another nice day perhaps to be out and about. It is forecast to go colder with some rain overnight Sunday into Monday, but freezing levels are expected to remain just above summits, and no lying snow is expected.

Sgurr nan Fhir Duibhe, at the East end of Beinn Eighe, in the morning light.
Looking up to Spidean Coire nan Clach, with Ruadh-stac Mor on the right and Ruadh-stac Beag on the left.
The Northern side of Beinn Eighe, from Sail Mhor on the right to Creag Dubh on the far left.
Looking into Coire Mhic Fhearchair, and Triple buttress in the background. Sorry for the poor quality, my camera doesn’t cope well taking pictures into the sun. No snow anywhere, except for the deep gash of Morrisons Gully on Sail Mhor.
Sail Mhor in the centre with Liathach in the background on the right. No snow in its Northern corries.
The summit of Beinn a Chearcaill, quite otherworldly, with Beinn Dearg in the distance.
Looking North to the summit of Carn Mor. Rock climbing anyone ?
A view looking North. Slioch on the right. No snow, but its still beautiful.
The “spot the deer” competition. 3 small hinds, quite young.
