| A deserted Coire an t-sneachda |
The last few weeks, indeed most of the winter, the snow has been deep and soft even to low levels. This makes for tiring and slow progress in the mountains. Even when I had snow shoes on the travelling over snow has been very slow and time consuming. Today it was a completely different experience.

A couple of days when temperatures went above freezing and some rain to Munro level has consolidated the snowpack wonderfuly. The road up from Glenmore was icy early this morning. Above 500m the snowpack was solid, mainly with all the ski touring tracks over the last couple of weeks.

I walked into Coire an t-sneachda with firm snow under my boots. Wonderful, easy walking. The snowpack is so deep and extensive that you can walk nilly willy or in a direct line almost anywhere with no obstacles.
