GETTING COLDER IN THE CAIRNGORMS

 

Sara enjoying the limited snow above 900m

Thursday 16th February. 

 Top day out in benign conditions. Sara out for 2 days with me this week. Sara runs Mont Blanc Treks who I've had the pleasure to guide for on Alpine trips for the last few years.

Coire an Lochain 

No Alpone conditions today in the Cairngorms but at last the freezing levels dropped and a very light dusting of snow above 1000m.

The cliffs of Coire an Lochain 

Spot the climbers

Great chat and banter as we wandered around the Northern Corries with lunch in a snowhole, rather than a Alpine Hut.

Snow shelters

Good spot for lunch 

Hard to believe the numbers skiing today. You have to look hard into Coire Cas to see any ski runs! I guess it knocks some dosh off the £25 million it's cost to fix the train.

Visibility at 1100m

A few days of blizzards wouldn't go amiss.
