The team and I broke trail into Stob Ban in Glen Nevis today, putting into practise all of the skills that we covered yesterday. We needed snow socks on the van to get to the car park after a couple of inches of snow overnight and were glad of goggles on the tops as the snow continued to fall and the wind picked up. We did well to get to the summit and then had to re-clear the path all the way down as it had drifted over since our ascent! A good physical day in proper Scottish conditions! The wind was blowing a lot of the fresh snow about and forming large areas of windslab so keep an eye on the avalanche forecasts and take care.
