Easter Skiing

After 4 days and three nights camping at the foot of the North face of Ben Nevis I decided that enough was enough and it was time to head home. The drive back through Glencoe in the early evening of Easter Monday got me thinking that I might be able to steal a days skiing if the recent weather had been as kind to the pistes as it had been to the routes on Ben Nevis. Another night under canvas wasn't going to hurt so I pitched up at Glencoe Mountain ski centre.

Even having it hire my skis for the day I still managed to be the third person onto the slopes. Skied hard all day in perfect conditions with hardly a queue to be seen.

The piste basher had done a great job and it was sometimes like skiing on a motorway. Wide smooth slopes with no crowds.


Happy days!
