Great day again over at Summit Gully a bit icy getting in but all good after that as the sun softened the snow slightly.

I was shocked how hard the snow had set up when we got off Braveheart for the traverse round totally different in Summit Gully.

There is now a Facebook page for the Back Corries join the community... [www.facebook.com]

Nice one thephmack... a little game of GNAR in the back corries

nice one thephmack what sweet day that was im the boarder with the red jacket at the start of the vid and yes i did finally get down best turns of the season as well, still stoked!! thanks again for the vid

Website says a lot of snow has been blown into the back, does that mean it will be epic tomorrow or mean that is likely they will close it due to avie risk?

check here before you go [www.sais.gov.uk] and check with ski patrol when you get there..

go slide....

I woild think the thaw freeze and then lots of wind blown powder may make this very unstable so SAIS is a must

Be nice to skiers...they have enough problems already

This photo was taken this morning in between the Snow showers which have been passing through most of the day.

Reports are that the Goose had caught 3-6 inch of fresh can you imagine how much the Back have caught with the strong Westerly's and now North Westerly.

Summit temps are at -7.5 so its going to be powder of the finest quality...

Avalanche will certainly be a big issue so take care.

Classic day at Nevis today with fresh tracks to be found in the Back Corries all day and that was without actually skiing in Coire Dubh other than passing through from Summit and Spikes back to base.


^ Going deep in Spikes....


^ Finding more of the good stuff near Cascade

Looks like it was another great day in the backs.

Good article about the workshops by Roger Cox here [www.scotsman.com]

Those photos look wonderful, very jealous and annoyed at myself as I was hoping to get up yesterday but didn't as didn't have a lift share!!

Cursing the fact that being a teacher doesn't let me randomly shoot up when it's his good!

IV drug abuse is never the answer

Ross - x2! Looks like a great day was missed and now we're probably going to be waiting a while for the next one

At last I can see fresh snow down to around 950m with the summit temp currently at -1.2 °C.

Strong South-Westerly winds are blowing in excess of 60mph so that's the backs getting some wind blown fresh and maybe a wee bit of drifting.

I have stopped looking at the weather forecasts in the last few days it driving me crazy...just going to watch the hills instead.
