Ski Touring
**All our days are guided by a British Mountain Guide or Mountain ski Instructor**
All ski equipment (skis, boots, poles etc.) and safety equipment is available for clients and is included in the course fee, however you are welcome to bring your own Our ski touring programme caters for all levels or off-piste skiers; from novice tourers to those after steep descents where fresh tracks are guaranteed. We also offer ski mountaineering, i.e. climbing with planks on your back, as well as a dedicated off-piste techniques course.
Ski Mountaineering
Some would say the best way up a mountain is to climb and the best way down is to ski. This is it! We plan to skin in to a classic climb (grade I/II) Then ski off via a different route back to the van. Examples of previous days include the ascent of Emel Ridge (grade II) to the summit of Beinn an Dothaidh followed by a descent of Coire Daingean and Central Gully (grade I/II) in the Cairngorms followed by a decent of Coire Cas.
Ski ability – confident on red runs and experience of ski touring summits in Scotland or the Alps
