Chatting today at the guys at Nevis Range and they are hopeful. Right now there is an early season feel to the ski-ing. Davey ski-ed today and he said the Summit and Goose runs were great – ungroomed and powdery, but it's a bit of a sprackle to get all the way back down to the top gondola station. So stay high up the hill to keep a smile on your face!

Overnight the freezing level may move up to 750m so not good for lower areas and it's llooking windy for Friday Sat could be OK check on the Nevis Range link above to check before you travel.
For the climbing the avalanche risk is high up to a four - check the Scottish avalanche service. There are drifts in back corries, so the gullies are loaded. Ridges and buttresses are better. The wind changed direction today so west side could also be loaded. But overnight rain could change it all so keeping the forecasts and take a prudent line.
