| Great snow conditions |
Sunday 15th January.
Fabulous day in the Cairngorms.
Suzanne & Colin out with Tarmachan Mountaineering on their 2nd day of winter fun.

| Happy mountain folk |
With much lighter winds it was great to get onto a journey in the mountains.
We had some wonderful wind scoured, firm and frozen snow slopes today, brilliant cramponing.

| Great conditions |
On the plateau it was poor visibility but we enjoyed the cold, minus a lot temperatures as we made our way up to Cairn Gorm summit.
 |
| Another group enjoying the conditions |
Only a brief couple of snow flurries.
The snowline had creeped down to 400m with the overnight snow.

| Coire an t-sneachda |
Some aspects were CONSIDERABLE avalanche risk today. We had another good chat about avalanche assessment and awareness and looked in detail at the SAIS forecast before setting out.

Throughout any winter journey in the hills the weather and avalanche forecasts are essential part of your planning.
A top couple of days with Father and Daughter team from Liverpool, always great banter with folk from Scouseville , of course 😀
