Happy New Year

The top two left photos were taken at about 11pm and it was about -13, it was a great night for stargazing, quite impressed my camera (phone) managed to take photos in the dark! The next one is Ewan doing the late shift snow clearing in the wee tractor lighting up the tress.  The last top photo is Gaskbeg Farmhouse looking very Christmassy thanks very much to Alan Docker for the wonderful wreath.

The bottom photos were all taken today the last day of 2022, what a beautiful day blue skies but cold, freezing spiders webs on the gate to the cottages.

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and all the very best for 2023

Wonderful snow for skiing, but the Funicular is still closed – give backcountry skiing a go?

After having a very mellow mild November, -10 plus this morning was a bit of a shock !  We haven’t had much snow just a covering but further North and East there has been quite a bit of snow, enough for some good skiing, unfortunately Cairngorm Mountain  is not open yet! according to their website they are hoping to be open soon and their season passes run from the 21st Dec.   If you are feeling fit you can walk or use skins on your skis and ski up to the top and ski down very quiet runs!  Tiso in Aviemore offer equipments hire (£35 per day Ski touring package).
