Curtain looks good, but approach/descent needs care: http://lochaberblog.sais.gov.uk/2015/02/recent-avalanches-on-ben-nevis/

In reply to The Ice Doctor:
We were up over the weekend. The curtain is fully fat & in condition however, on the approach we were avalanched from debris coming from No.5 Gully (naturally triggered) it has been snowing heavily for the past few days. The approach from the hut is more like a swim as is to most of the other routes. I would approach & descend No.5 with extreme caution as the last report was that the snow pack was chest deep in places with snow moving around.

In those conditions I would just walk down the Red Burn. Choose life.

In reply to Jamie B:

Yeah, safe to say we back off & attempted Waterfall Gully.

The Curtain is thinner than it was 2 weeks ago but still good (did it today)
