Hi

Heading up to Skye for a few days and was wondering what conditions might be like, snow line level is the big question really.

Thinking Kinlochleven maybe on the way up, anyone got a GPX for some of the Enduro stages up there. Devils Staircase is probably under a bit of the white stuff I imagine?

Would love to do the Torridon Loop too while up there, again any info of conditions etc greatly received.

Cheers all.

And yes I know, funny time to visit but hey....  need a change.

At a guess I'd say nothing bellow 1000 ft ish , prob well out of luck with Torridon loop though as there is a fair covering above the snow line.

I was up Torridon wednesday. Didnt ride the lolipop but walked the area. South facing slopes fairly snow free but the north facing corries lots of deep drifts. More forecast over weekend too.

Rode the Kenmore to Applecross out and back which was completely snow free and bloody awesome!

The short version of the Achnashellach descent might be doable? Up the landy track from the station towards the Coulin lodge, left after the bridge up to Drochaid Coire Lair and back down to station.
