British Association of Ski Patrollers

The season at CairnGorm has exceeded all expectations after a very late start in March! Fresh snow during last week topped up the slopes and gave full cover all over the mountain, allowing skiing to continue from top to bottom and giving some of the best conditions we've seen in years! Happy Easter everyone! However, skier numbers have been dwindling gradually from the peak weekend at the beginning of March, which means that queues are virtually non existent and pistes are clutter free! The patrol have been kept busy with plenty of scrapes to deal with including one poor chap who broke his leg in three places last Thursday and got through 2 bottles of entinox before the ambulance arrived!

We hope that the slightly milder conditions this week won't do too much damage and that we'll be skiing for a few weeks to come!
