Another great day.
26th February 2020
Two days without a storm, I’m spoiled!
A busy day on the hills. Plenty people out on ski and foot enjoying another winters day. Some drifting in the moderate winds but sunny again with a bit of hill cloud at times. A great wee trip across to Carn nan Sac and some great skiing into the corrie.

Todays route as recorded on our Garmin. Round to Carn nan Sac first. Taking notes from steep ground along the way. A descent into the corrie, Sac attack then a skin up to the gap. A bit of piste to finish.

Two keen lads from Aberdeen heading up through the corrie. Just a bit too firm for skining up the steeper parts.

Skiers by the fishing hut Loch Vrotachan. Plenty ski tourers around today. Â Bit cloudier in the afternoon.

Nice to see my âsac attackâ name still being used for that line. Headed there today myself, a great ski down, thanks for the skinning track to exit the valley 🙂
And thanks for the blog posts, photos and avalanche condition reports, appreciated
