Winter Skills Course – 3-4 March 2018

This weekend we had some mixed weather. The avalanche report reflected all the fresh snow we received in the last few days. On Saturday we went up to Coire na Ciste for building emergency snow shelters and checking on the avalanche conditions. We also did some ice axe arresting and cutting steps on some neve snow nearby. On Sunday we headed down to Drumochter because the snow gates at Cairn Gorm were not open. There we encountered a lot of deep snow, which at times was knee deep.
