Climbing at Kingussie Crag (actually the recently bolted bit) post MTUKI meeting online. Good to stay grounded with some grass “routes” coaching…! @Offpisteperform @Brit_Mt_Guides

Good to work with Mrs T on the hill today, albeit it in tricky flat light conditions. Should really have sent her first…! #offpisteperformance @Offpisteperform #lofotenislands

Riders on the crust...Proud of @Off_Piste_Perf progression team for completing a mid winter journey in to the Argentière Basin in good style thanks to the great coaching from @basschamonix. Magnificent in there today but plenty of wind blown snow to negotiate!

A delightful morning skiing powder at Les Houches. With a short skin there are still a few places left for fresh tracks.

10 years ago Rémy Lécluse died in an avalanche on Manaslu 8156m (23rd Sept 2012). Alison describes skiing with him, and his philosophy of steep skiing in this blog at the time. offpiste.org.uk/blog/2012/09… #offpisteperformance

Great day traversing An Teallach before the showers. Gained highly easily using a superb escarpment of Pipe Rock around 508 million years old. Just superb. @Brit_Mt_Guides @Offpisteperform

The sea resembled an on trend “Battleship Grey” today on Arnøya. Ideal for some singelelva burn laps today in excellent powder. #offpisteperformance #848482 @Brit_Mt_Guides

I'm sure the blanks in this leaderboard can be filled easily. Running friends, please help find more women who have run Tranter's round. I'd like* to be bumped off this list! *temporarily loving being on the same page as these legends! gomountaingoats.com/tranters…

Great account of the 1st ski descent of Black Spout on Lochnagar from @Cairngorm22 cairngormwanderer.wordpress.… “...it was not the done thing to boast about something like this: ‘I hear you skied down the Black Spout today.’ I said, ‘Yes’ and the subject was never mentioned again.” – at Crathie, Scotland
