Southern Cairngorms Blog & Mountain Info

Generally there is a thin cover of snow, but there are localised deeper deposits in any sheltered area. Here, a bit of trail breaking required.

Instabilities are currently still present in deep deposits. Gully tops and corrie rims are greatest hazard. Around 90 cm of snow here with a weak layer noted. Despite a brief thaw tonight (Thursday 26th) instabilities will persist within deep deposits at higher elevations.
