And so it begins, winter 2019. #skitouring #cairngormsnationalpark #aviemore

26th November 2018

Temperatures have dropped and snow has been falling for the last week or so on the mountains. With social media getting everyone excited about the forthcoming winter season, we nipped out for our first ski tour of the season. While lots of fun, conditions were ok higher up but very limited lower down....

We've had a very busy year working on film sets looking after crew and cast in mountainous and watery film locations (www.mountainandwatersafety.co.uk). Last week we were doing some water rescue CPD. Always very worthwhile, even if it was a touch chilly at this time of year!

Our winter courses are beginning to fill up and we're looking forward to the next few months. Pleaes get in touch if you'd like some winter training or guiding.

Absolutely loved the course! Our instructor Annie was very good and knowledgeable about all aspects of touring, she taught us all about the kit, what to pack in bag, avalanche training, planning of tour and lots more. The first day we toured to top of Cairngorm summit with some Ice on the way and managed to test ski crampons. The second day was probably one of the best experiences On skis when we reached the summit of Gael Charn and the view was unreal and the ski down was brilliant. Amazing week and recommend the course.
