I have been out with Andy today after Alec headed for home amid the snowy travel chaos that has hit the UK. We headed into Stob Coire nan Lochan in Glen Coe and walked in with snow falling from road level. We climbed Boomerang Arete (III) which was really good fun with lots of fresh powder all over it, some nice climbing and some great mountaineering sections that landed us smack bang on the summit. Dave and Karl climbed Ordinary Route (IV, 4) and reported equally good conditions. The snow was building as it did not stop all day so keep any eye on the avalanche forecast over the next few days.

hi there, looking to head up to sob corrie nan lochan mid week depending on avvy forecast, however avid skier as well so dont want to miss out on any powder, were the routes clear enough to make them worth doin over a ski?, or did you find it a bit of a slog trail breaking cheers for any info
When I was up last week Broad Gully had been scoured by the wind to a hard crust. The wind is due to change direction tomorrow though and there is a lot of fresh snow about so could all be different by then. If you are a good skier then it could be brilliant!
