Despite the daffodils appearing winter is still very much in control on Ben Nevis. We had a great day on Saturday in periods of glorious sunshine interspered with blizzard conditions, which are fairly unusual for this late in the winter.
The snow cover was down to 300m and large areas of consolidated snow remain from 750 metres upwards. The depth of snow on the summit in currently at about 10 feet so it looks like winter conditions are going to be in firm control until the end of April.
Follow this link for photos from Saturday which will give you a good idea of what to expect on the summit plateau for the foreseeable future.
Our summer Ben Nevis weekends are filling up very quickly so if you are thinking of tackling Ben Nevis with us this summer please do book your place soon. Full details here: http://www.macsadventure.com/bennevis.htm
