Cold and clear
17th January 2024
Today was a bitterly cold day with temperatures of -10 degrees on the summit, and it felt like it if you stood around for a few minutes. The windchill was severe. Yesterday’s snow had not been re-distributed as much as expected, but was forming windslab and cornices on North-East, East, and South-East aspects. Plenty of fresh snow across the mountain. This snow will be moved around tomorrow, particularly in the afternoon as the wind picks up. This will continue to develop unstable windslab on the above aspects. Please see the forecast for detail.
Heading up the Goose on fresh snow.

A fine view across to a snowy Ben Nevis
Cornices and windslab developing at the top of easy Gully.
Looking across to the summit of Aonach Mor. Transported snow blowing onto Easterly aspects on the left at this altitude.
