Winter Skills

Stob Coire nan Lochan today

Working on a Winter Skills course today, we went up to Stob Coire nan Lochan. We left the car park with sleet, but this quickly turned to solid snow after half an hour. The snow started coming down fast, and was being blown around even faster. At times during the day we were up to our knees, waist or even chest in deep snow. Breaking trail was sometimes hard going, but the group got a lot from their first day in full winter conditions.

A great deal of snow came down today. The approach track from the 20-30 people in the morning was completely covered by the end of the day.
