End of season:-Not Yet

Many people on the blog seemed to have given up all hope of skiing come mid March. 2 months later and people are still getting fresh tracks in the Alps :-).

Skiing Mt Blanc seems to be off for moment with weather but brother is getting in great ski touring in Italy and reporting ankle deep light powder.

Cancel the summer holiday and get a touring setup. People are having to work hard for the skiing but certainly from the sun burn and tall stories they seemed to be enjoying.

The season seems to be far from over! We went up to Scotland last week and had better skiing than we did in January! Fresh snow and blue sky, we headed in to Scotland's backcountry for some skinning and sun tan! Here is a video of what we got up to, would love any comments...

Can't you just mute the sound?
Then you have the choice of whether you listen or not.

Edit - :D just realised - you like the other sounds.

I reckon youre pretty much on your own here. Watching that with the sound of, erm, wind, would have been dull as dishwater.
Like I said, its all about the track choice :wink:
