Raphael is out on a 2 day course with me. Last minute booking after seeing winter returning this month .we certainly got great snow cover. The winds were very strong but bearable and some wonderful breaks in the cloud with bursts of sunshine up on the plateau. There was also some periods of very poor visibility. Great snow cover to 600m and the conditions are improving with the slight melt/freeze cycle. A great first day.
