Strong winds, cold temperatures and a plentiful supply of readily available deposits produced constant heavy drifting today resulting in a rapid build up of windslab in very sheltered locations – Gully tops, steep burn lines, sharply defined corrie rims etc. The video was taken at around 800 metres with conditions worsening with altitude.
