Today, I have been out with the Falkirk High Tops staff team looking at skills for ski touring and avalanche rescue techniques.We parked at the parking used by teams ascending Meall Nan Tarmachan and headed up onto the flank of this Munro. It was possible to still have skis on from the start of the day and to link areas of snow together for the duration of the four and a half hours we were out. However, heavy rain started as we were walking back along the road. This will further reduce the snowpack in this area.
