Mixed weather but good mountain conditions. #winterskills #skitouring #winterclimbing #cairngorms #scotland

28th January 2018

As always we're really grateful to all the folks who book with us, but epsecially those who keep the faith even when the weather's looking wild.

That was certainly the case this weekend. After a week of mixed  but often nice settled weather, conditions deteriorated just in time for Saturday!

All last week and this weekend we've had teams out doing winter skills, winter climbing and ski touring, all having a good time and finding good conditions.

When's there's lots of snow and sunshine it's easy. The skill of our amazing guides is delivering excellent courses on the most unlikely of days.

More of the same this coming week. Can't wait.

Winter courses

We went on the 2 day Intro to Winter Mountaineering course and couldn't praise it highly enough! Dave was an incredible instructor - friendly, patient and super familiar with all the mountain terrain near Aviemore. We recapped our basic winter skills before progressing onto ropework, belaying and steeper routes. We became more independent the second day, leading the routes with Dave's guidance. Dave was more than happy to tailor the course to our level and needs, allowing us to push ourselves whilst always feeling safe. There are loads of outdoor guides and courses in the Cairngorms, but having now done two courses with Cairngorm Adventure Guides we would recommend them to everyone!
