Build the skills and confidence you need to enjoy the mountains in winter.
Our 2 day Winter Skills Course on the WEST COAST OF SCOTLAND is designed for people who want to develop their winter mountain walking skills and become more confident travelling through snow and ice-covered mountain terrain. Whether you're new to winter or looking to refresh and consolidate your skills, we'll give you the practical tools to make informed decisions and move safely in the mountains.
Over the course, we'll cover essential winter techniques including ice axe and crampon skills, moving safely on steep snow, cutting steps, winter navigation, route choice, avalanche awareness and what to do in the event of a slip or fall. We'll also look at equipment, clothing, mountain weather and the factors that influence winter conditions.
The emphasis is on hands-on learning and building real-world confidence. You'll have plenty of opportunity to practise techniques in the mountains, with guidance tailored to your experience and the conditions on the day.
You'll learn:
How to use an ice axe and crampons effectively
Safe movement on snow-covered terrain
Self-arrest and techniques for stopping a slide
Winter navigation and route planning
Understanding snow conditions and avalanche awareness
Winter route choice and decision making
How to prepare for a day in the winter mountains
Mountain safety, emergency skills and risk management
No previous winter experience is required, although a reasonable level of summer mountain fitness is recommended.
The aim isn't simply to teach you a set of techniques, but to help you develop the judgement, awareness and confidence to make good decisions in the winter mountains.
Based from Fort William.
Conditions and itinerary will vary depending on weather, snow and avalanche conditions, and the course will be adapted to make the most of what the mountains give us on the day.
