Winter draws to a close #winterskills #skitouring #scottishskitouring

24th March 2019

It was always going to return, wasn't it! Looking over the photos from the last few weeks it has been a good month. We've had plenty of winter skills, ski touring and climbing teams out making the most of the late season conditions. Being flexible has been key, as well as keeping an open and honest dialogue with people who are coming on our courses. It's been great to hear people have still  enjoyed themselves and learned lots on our cousres.

There's no doubt that the warm spell in February has limited options and has made the snow pack more vunerable. Nonetheless, it's good to have made the most of it and still to have something to go at for another week or so.

Another observation of the photos this season is orange and red were the jacket colours of choice!

Winter courses

I had a great time at Aviemore for my 2 days introduction to winter skills course. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and always made time to answer everyone's question. Thorough checks on the correct kit and being prepared for a day in the mountains made me aware of a couple flaws in my own preparation. I have now corrected these and feel more confidant of the hills as a result. Very worth while doing so don't hesitate to sign up and learn how to be safe.
