Misty conditions prevail with warm temperatures and spring snow conditions. There was not a drop of wind but this also meant that the mist did not move and visibility was shocking. Up top snow was plentiful and soft so this was not a problem, however it was very disorientating. Top T-bar was dismounting 1 pylon early due to […]

Glencoe, February 2nd 2008
Stu, Jon and myself headed up to Coe from a snowy Glasgow. We had a weather window where the wind had eased just for the Saturday, winds had been ferocious and were due to pick up again on Sunday.
