The weekend saw the last winter skills course of the 2017/18 winter season. It has been a weekend with some great weather and lots of sunshine. However, the snow is now slushy and it became more difficult to find places to use ice axe and crampons. On the way in to Coire an t-Sneachda we also spotted an avalanche coming out of Jacobs Ladder. It was a great finish to the season and I’m now looking forward to Spring and summer with lots of kayaking.
