Aonach Mor Snow Skills

Jake on Aonach Nid

Jonny and Chris

A Ptarmigan

No snow on the lower ski runs

 Today I took Jonny and Chris up to Aonach Mor to "Winterise" their summer skills in preperation for some mountaineering over the next few days. We looked at foot work with and without crampons, axe skills and limited visibility navigation out to the summit at 1221m. We were joined today by Jake who is preparing for his Winter Mountain Leader Assessment in a few weeks.
We saw a couple of Ptarmigan who didn't seem at all bothered by our prescence and the weather today was kind to us with low winds but the low cloud limited our views. The ski hill is looking barer day by day but there is still good skiing on the summit rund and the upper goose.
