Ski, snowboard and other snow related sports, including ski mountaineering and touring.

How much is possible in just one weekend? Well, partly thanks to cheap flights a weekend in the Alps is possible. But what about redecorating a flat and going on a long ski tour all day Saturday too?
After some wintry showers, I decided to take the skis for a bit of a slide around the the tops of the fells in the far north of the Lakes.
Hello everyone! Just a few pics of us in Austria.
Our first ever proper ski tour!
Trying out our new ski touring equipment, we made a trip to Contamine.
Anna, Ian, Sarah and Pete spent Christmas on the slopes, staying at Meribel-Mottaret...
Dave & Kath headed off to Val Thorens to see if the rumours were true - yes, there was snow, it snowed a little and we had a fab time.
Call us crazy, but, in an attempt to grab 'just one more ice climb' before the rock climbing season really kicks in (and making full use of cheap Easy-Jet flights to Geneva) we headed for Switzerland!
