Fierce gusts of wind reached 168mph on Glen Coe’s summit during Storm Isha - but the robust mountain resort escaped any damage.
Because of a turbulent wind flow up there, strong gales are not uncommon on the popular peak.
According to one of the resort’s expensive state-of-the-art weather stations, gusts of more than 100mph were recorded every five minutes during Isha and sustained that ferocity over several hours on Sunday night.
The weather station is only calibrated to record 140mph but wind speeds were well-exceeding that, Glen Coe Mountain Resort reported.
On Monday morning, winds were still gusting at more than 80mph on the mountain.
Snowsports were cancelled, with only the base camp café and accommodation open for business.
The resort’s managing director Andy Meldrum said the resort was built to stand up to extreme weather conditions - and is hoping the recent wild weather will help make for a good end of season.
He said: "When snow is blown into big drifts and it then gets saturated with rain it becomes more resistant to melting which would be excellent news for skiers and winter sports enthusiasts.
"It’s setting us up for a good end of season but we always recommend people check the weather forecast before they set off."
