Great snow cover and Nordic skiing at Slochd
Deep snow cover and great cross country skiing in the forest trails. Hard work trail breaking though it was well worth it on the run back down through the snow laden forest to my cottage at Slochd. We met Adam and his partner breaking trail so we went round the tracks anti-clockwise and Adam and partner went round clockwise we met in the middle and had a good slide down each others pisted trail...! It's nice to be able to ski from your front door!!
We've been round the upper trails so tomorrow the upper tracks should be fantastic though we need some trail breakers cum pisters for the lower tracks. The old A9 has not been cleared of snow so snow tyres and chains are usefull.
