Nevis Range ventures off-piste for Backcountry Gathering
December 2014
Nevis Range held its 2nd annual Pre-Season Backcountry Gathering on Saturday 29th November.
Over a hundred back country ski and snowboard enthusiasts took to the slopes of Aonach Mor to learn and refresh their skills.
Workshops ran throughout the day including Avalanche Decision Making, the real 'need to know' and Companion Rescue with speakers from Sportscotland Avalanche.
Also on hand to provide advice and information were the Information Service, Snowsports Scotland, a range of ski mountaineering guidebooks, and Ian 'Spike' Sykes, founder of the Nevis Range ski resort.
Jeff Starkey, Head of Ski Patrol, Nevis Range said: "It's really important that skiers and boarders who venture off-piste and into back country terrain are appropriately experienced and equipped. This day has been all about getting these like-minded people together to learn, to share ideas and to plan adventures. We were delighted with the success of the day and we're already looking forward to our third Gathering next year."
