Winter makes a return #winterskills #ski touring #cairngorms

Winter really has been like a yoyo this season so far. Last week things didn't look great and now we've got full on winter conditions with about eight inches of snow in Aviemore!

We managed a ski tour yesterday at Drumochter. It was good to be back on skis, but it was a pretty wild day with only patches of snow to link up. Today was the start of an intro ski touring course, a women only winter skills and a normal winter skills course. The skiers found fresh snow and good viz on the hills behind Aviemore andd the skills teams ventured into the Northern cories and up to Cairn Gorm. Plenty of other folks enjoying the winter conditions.

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.
