Skiing down towards Coire Raebert
Superb skiing on Easter Sunday so after a few warm up runs down from Cairngorm’s summit towards Loch Avon I headed towards Coire Raebert not realising the run down to Loch Avon wasn’t quite complete!

Easter Sunday Skiing on Cairngorm
Переглядів 2723 місяці тому
The winter of 2024 has been one of the poorest winters for settled weather, snow buildup and all snow sports. However unexpectedly Easter Sunday just about made up for it, at least for a day! The video is my first off-piste run of many on the Sunday and I was just blown away by the quality of the skiing and sunshine!

Nice to see Eddie back for more winter fun. Eddie had previously done a winter mountaineering course with me and was back for a few days of private guiding. The previous day was wild with no visibility, heavy snow and strong winds however day two with an early start and finish was just perfect along with much improved climbing conditions. We weren’t sure of the avalanche conditions give the pre...

Cairngorm Off-piste Conditions 4 March 2024

Despite limited and poor snow cover on the main ski area the ski conditions and snow cover were much better than I expected on the back of Cairngorm and you could ski right down to the Saddle and close to Loch Avon if you wished! This gave me the chance to try out the Insta360 third person view waist mount and the GoPro 11 mini’s Max lens mod and then edit in Quik!

    I've watched this video several times, as well as Touching the Void. So much wisdom in this dicumentry that has applicationss to our entire lefe. There are no guarantees in life that --- you give yourself 100 percent to an endeavor with the highest expectations that you will see success... and sometimes it is just not meant to happen. As the expression says: "Tht dog ain't gonná hunt."

    I love this documentary. Joe reenacting and narrating, a remarkable and haunting little soundtrack that I found on the composer's website years ago and have never been able to find since. But my favorite bit of trivia about it is that the narrator plays the guy who grows the weed in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

    Just to add, really important to adjust the size/length of the crampons so that they are really tight on the boot. It should take a little force to get your boot into the crampon. I had my crampons one notch to big and while my boots fit into the crampon fine and initially the strap held things in place, I had a dangerous situation where mid climb by crampon came loose. Fortunately was in a place where I could move over a little to a spot to sit and fix before proceeding onward.

    Hi Ron, hoping you can help. I recently purchased the MX03 and have found communicating with merkx not productive. I am going to fast on pas 1 etc, when I peddle I have to break constantly when getting around town. Do you know how to limit the speed on pas 1, pas2 etc so the battery input is minimal in pas 1 and 2? Cheers

    Great video and great song? Many years ago I used to ski up in the Lake District a lot. There was times when the weather was bad (often) but it would suddenly open up to reveal an untouched area of fantastic snow. Its like the mountain was rewarding you for the respect and effort you were putting in. Just the noise of your skis and nothing else...can't beat that, no clunking Poma's. They may look like hills but they behave like mountains and can be brutal and without a ski patrol, that was always in my mind. But I can say in all my years skiing in the Lake District, it gave me a feeling of unity and freedom I never got in the Alps even when off-piste.

    Hello. Is your mx03 still working? have you got any problems with it?

    • @RonWalkerCairngormGuides
      @RonWalkerCairngormGuides 2 місяці тому

      Not used it over the winter but still working despite the battery being left discharged over the summer or left fully charged for months over the winter when not used. I initially had problems with the battery connections but it’s a well known issue that’s been sorted in later models and easily avoided if you don’t use it continuously on throttle when going up hill! The newer models should be better though they don’t have the 4 inch fat tyres which are good for the off-road tracks here and some don’t have hydraulic brakes!
