Winter Skills Weekend in Snowdonia






I am running a  Welsh Winter Skills course this weekend. We headed up onto the Glyders and found some great patches of snow to look at use of the boot as a tool, crampon skills, cutting steps, movement on steep snow, avalanche awareness and winter navigation. It has been a beautiful day here in Snowdonia and is due to get cold with some overnight snow and temperatures below freezing on the tops tomorrow so we could put the crampons to further use!
