A Glorious winters day

Coire an Lochain
Mess of Potage Coire an t Sneachda

Looking toward Creag Meagaidh
Looking towards the Northern Corries and the Sgorans

It has been a rare day with good visibilty and snow - good touring on the tops -

hard work on foot.

Some deep instabilities are present in the snowpack at about 50cm depth on

NE aspects at 1000m level. There is a strong temperature gradient which is

producing facets above the old neve layer.

This will develop in the cold temperatures and shallow snowpack.

I'll look at this layer again tomorrow.
