There is no better place then Scotland when you get days like this!

Today Desiree, Mark and myself went for a little ski tour behind the Lecht ski centre. What a day!! The Lecht itself was busy, with a full car park but as soon as you left the ski area there was no soul to be seen..other then us.

Mark and I started of with a little warm up on the slopes over the East side of the road before meeting up with Dez. With the sun beaming in the sky and clean tracks on the descent it was like being in the Alps!

Once Dez arrived we skinned up to Beinn a' Chruinnich and skied down its SW ridge.

The sun and the pristine snow and 360 degrees views made it one of the best days of Scottish skiing for the three of us!

I hope this beautiful spell of winter continues for all of you out there next week. I am off to Holland to spend some time with the family. Whatever you get up to don't forget to ski a few lines or climb a few climbs for me!

Enjoy! XX Chrissie
