Nevis Range skiing and forgotten crampons! - Easter weekend, 30th March 2013

Stunning weather in the West Highlands this weekend, perfect for a weekend of skiing at Nevis Range, Aonach Mor, and then The Legde Route on Ben Nevis on Sunday, except...
Someone, ie, me, forgot their winter climbing trousers and crampons!

So we had no choice but to ski for two days.      
Lorna at the top of Aonach Mor by the weather station.
Lots of big cornices over the back corries, which weren't open for skiing sadly.
Ben Nevis and the CMD Arete looked fully loaded with snow which hopefully will last for a few weeks yet. 
View from the Quad chair, Nevis Range.
Good, but limited skiing with very few queues.
