Third day out for Jim on his winter skills and Jim fancied the delights of a couple of days out with a snow hole thrown in. With a good weather forecast and much colder temperatures, day and night, we headed over to Creag Meagaidh. With all the luxuries on our back we headed up into Coire Ardair with the tops of the mountains clear for a change. There was a stiff NW wind blowing and by the time we reached the lochan there was some snow showers. Excellent hard snow leading up to what's commonly known as 'The Window', a bealach between Creag Meagaidh and the neigbouring Munro of Stob Puist Coire Ardair. There is an excellent steep bank of snow here and perfect for our overnight snow shelter. We had the luxury of time and so had a good size snow hole with room to stand up and all mod cons. The wind was blowing still into the night and some light snow showers. A hard frost overnight.
