Winter Skills..

Dave and I headed up to Coire Leis on Ben Nevis today to practise some essential winter skills.

The weather was fairly wild with squally snow showers during the morning, and the freezing level retreating in the afternoon leaving a moist snowpack.

There is still plenty of snow on the North Face of Ben Nevis to ride out this thaw, and with colder conditions forecast next week we should see a significant improvement in climbing conditions...
