The epic opening conditions in Shropshire lasted four days but by day 5 temperatures were on the up and work called.<\/p>\n

The following Saturday I had a very speculative drive up to\u00a0Pistyll Rhaeadr, the gateway to the Berwyns in the hope that the snow had kept better with a bit more altitude.\u00a0 There was snow cover but the thaw was firmly underway.<\/p>\n

Slab avalanche on the head wall, below Moel Sych.<\/p><\/div>\n

Surprisingly I spotted 2 sets of avalanche debris.\u00a0 The first had crossed the miners track and had probably come down in the week, starting at the top of a gully. The second,\u00a0 a full depth ‘slab’ was on the head wall above the Llyn, triggered that afternoon by walkers.<\/p>\n

I managed a few turns but they were ‘challenging’ !<\/p>\n

Poppy on her last ski touring outing.<\/p><\/div>\n

My final Shropshire ski of 2017 was up on the Long Mynd, on the Golf Course.\u00a0 I took Poppy along and sadly it was to be her last outing, she passed away a few days later.<\/p>\n

1st April 2018. Snowdonia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ski touring on the Carneddau, looking up to Carnedd Dafydd.<\/p><\/div>\n

Snowdonia often delivers late season ski touring, with April snows. This year was no exception and I headed over on April 1st. Conditions were uncertain so there was every chance of an April Fool, but on parking up it looking promising, with a thin snow line at the 500m mark.<\/p>\n

After a hike and a skin up, the ski down was good, although the visibility was poor to start.<\/p>\n

I finished my season with a few days touring in Scotland with the very last turns of the Winter in powder up on Glencoe\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
