Sail & Ski Norway
Description
These are a selection of photos taken in recent seasons skiing in the Lyngen Alps of Northern Norway. I hope that these will prove helpful to anyone thinking of joining the ESC trip there next Spring (Tour 37 in the 2014 programme).

After 12 or so years, this was the last course to be held at Hugh Sowerby’s chalet, but it is hoped to continue next year with the same instruction and format in a different chalet.

Glenuaig Lodge February 2013
Description
This Scottish meet was held over 5 days 13th to 17th Feb at the remote Glenuaig Lodge, which is 5 miles along a rough estate track, just to the east of Achnashellach. The diesel generator failed on the first night, but this added to the atmosphere of the meet, as we became more reliant on candle light and log fires. Nobody actually used their skis, as rain washed away most of the lower snow, but lots of Munros and Corbetts were bagged on foot.

The Four Highest Cairngorms day tour - 1st April 2013
Description
Start and Finish at Cairngorm car park. No uplifts used. Cairngorm, Ben Macdui, Cairn Toul, Braeriach. A cold SE wind and clear most of the day, apart from brief cloud cover on Ben Macdui. Temp.-5C. Snow surface was crystalline hoar structures from Cairngorm to Ben Macdui and down the Taillear Burn, magical stuff. The all round snowscape panorama from Cairn Toul was exceptional. The snow surface was completely different across the Braeriach plateau, made up of scoured hard ice sasstrugi ruts, ski rattlin stuff. This continued on the descent all way down from Sron na Lairige in to the Lairig Ghru, then a tedious ski carry up to, and through Chalmain Gap, with an Alpen Glow and twinkly stars to finish.
