Each day starts at 8.00am and usually finishes
by 5.00-6.00pm. A weather and avalanche briefing each morning
is backed up on the hill by digging snow pits and studying
snow crystals and previous weather/wind patterns.
All winter courses require considerable
physical effort and are potentially risky. Anyone interested
in fitness training before attending a course should try swimming,
cycling or just hill-walking. Try and arrive reasonably fit
and you will enjoy yourself even more!
Some courses will use the Nevis Range Gondola up lift and
£8.00 return is a cost to be budgeted for. Also one
visit to the Ice Factor for the climbers is possible and this
will involve an extra £12 over the course fee.
