Excellent conditions, at last! #winterskills #winterclimbing #skitouring

26th February 2020

After such a lean start to winter that was then followed by mixed cold and windy weather, it's very very good to have some excellent condtions.

At present ski touring conditions are excellent with a good coverage to lower levels and plenty of fresh snow to go at. We've had teams at all the usual haunts and have managed plenty of personal ski tours too.

Our winter skills courses continue to be very popular (which is excellent) and even when we've had wild and windy weather there has at least been good amounts of snow at lower altitude venues we've been able to use.

There have been a number of avalanches recently, so please make sure to check out the latest forecast and plan your day before heading out- https://www.sais.gov.uk/

Winter courses

An absolutely amazing mountaineering course, I couldn’t recommend highly enough. From the outset Dave took an interest in the skills we wanted to achieve and the capability of the group and tailored the course to us. We were provided with expert training and advice at every step. This was a challenging week of mountaineering that fit in as much learning and experience as we could fit into 5 days. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in Mountaineering or sharpening the skills they already have. Massive thank you to Cairngorm adventure guides.
