Despite an unusually warm winter so far, there is still enough snow in pockets of the Cairngorms to put skins on the skis and enjoy some ski mountaineering with a bonus ski down, admittedly it's a bit rough at the moment!
I was lucky enough to get SKI MOUNTAINEERING IN SCOTLAND, the Scottish Mountaineering Club Guide, edited by Donald Bennet and Bill Wallace. This book is considered to be the best guide to date. Unfortunately it is not easy to get hold of it but well worth trying!
