High level drifters....

(Above) Sron a Ghoire -  Plumes of wind blown snow (against white background clouds) cross-loading onto these high, sheltered NE gullies
(a certain amount will be sublimating to atmosphere in current conditions - nonetheless hard slab forming in high, lee locations)
 
(Above) Coire a Chriocharien (Stone Coire - not many stones!)
 
....but lots of high level snow available for transport and re-distribution
 
(Above) Coire Ardair of Creag Meagaidh - Pinnacle Buttress caked in fresh snow
