Awesome snow cover up at Glencoe. Possibly the best early conditions in decades. Wide complete cover all the way from the summit back to the car. A few medium slabs were triggered this morning by ski patrol but overall conditions are tremendous. I installed the BCA training park today. Some pictures of what greeted me below. Next year I will take the kit home for maintenance as the weather has taken its tole on the wires and the control box and it really needs a bit of care. Take care if using the park as although I have buried the beacons 50/100cm down into the snowpack I was unable to get the wires down below 12cm due to a hard crust and being knackered from all the digging. I believe an MRT will be using the site tomorrow and many folk came to me wanting advice and future training today.
