Today me and Gwilym headed up to Nevis Range. The original plan had been to do some ski mountaineering, climb something on the West face then ski back down from the summit but with all the fresh powder and rather worrying avalanche reports we decided to just have a day up the slopes. The conditions on the higher runs were excellent with good powder over a solid base, although lower down was a little bare.
The highlight of the day for me was that i finally got to test out my new ski setup which i've been gradually putting together for the last few months, and i can happily report that they performed excellently!
Unfortunately there was a bit of a downer to the day when i watched Harry, who i did my BCU level 1 with had a bit of a disagreement with a rock. Me and Gwilym helped out as best we could until he was stretchered off the hill with a suspected broken leg. Hopefully he makes a quick recovery and is back on the hill by the end of the season!
