The Winter Skills Team descends a snowfield on Carn Ban Mor in the Cairngorms.

The team descends from cutting snow steps on the slopes of Corie an Sneachda during a blizzard.
Two members of the winter skills team, Katie & Alex, are caught in the descending blizzard as we attempt to leave Corie an Sneachda.

As a rookie mountaineer with big ambitions to climb big peaks I noticed there was a rather large gap on my mountaineering resume! So I packed my bags and headed to Cairngorms National Park, Scotland to learn the necessary winter skills with Glenmore Lodge for my upcoming trip to the Alps this summer.
The pictures above are a brief collage of my fun in the mountains.
