Drifting

(Above) Looking towards Coire Ardair -  Light cover of new snow on main path.
  the 'Window' visible (between the showers) left of view
 
(Above) Coire a Chriochairein - steady streams of spindrift around rims
 
(Above) Cairn Liath Plateau Area - lots of snow being transported in high sheltered lee locations
 
Creag Meagaidh, Coire Ardair. Most crags obscured for much of the day -  blue skies at least for periods between the showers.
The rapid drifting throughout leading to easy shears underfoot of new windslab in high sheltered lee areas.
