The Objective of this expedition was to explore on ski the remote and rarely frequented area of the Mongolian Altai that borders Russia and China and contains the country’s highest peaks.

The last club meet of the 2011 Scottish winter programme was based in 2 self-catering cottages, in a remote location near Loch Ossian on the Corrour estate in the Central Highlands.

There are a few photos in the gallery. We had a great week, led by John Hogg and hope that David Wood will send me the report he is producing for the Year Book. It can also go into this space. I will also add a selection of the photos taken by John and other members of the group when I receive them.

A weekend in a remote but luxurious self-catering cottage. Loch Ossian is in an isolated and rugged location in the heart of the Central Highlands. There are 10 skiable Munros within range of the cottage including Ben Alder, and the Aonach Beag ridge. Mountain days can be long or short as preferred.

These photos were taken in 2010. The season 2011 was, atypically, not good in the Gapencais, so we skied the Haute Ubaye. It wasn't much better there either - unsafe and too much snow, temperatures too high. A good day was had on the pistes, and off-piste, at the Station of Vars, when it was too unsafe to ski the mountains.
A four day traverse from Courmayeur to Chamonix via the Gonella hut, Aig Grises, Piton des Italiens, Bionnassey ridge, Vallot hut, Mont Blanc, Epaule Mont Maudit, Epaule Mont Blanc de Tacul, Cabin Godfroy & Vallee Blanche

The Glarner Alps lie just to the east of Andermatt, but are not much frequented by British ski-tourers. The highest and best known mountain is the Tödi (3614m). This gallery contains a few photos by members on the ESC tour there in April 2010.
This is a small couloir faintly visible up above the Mer de Glace between the Chapoura refuge and the Aiguille Verte. It can be accessed by a fairly easy skin up the back side and then a short 30m climb to the top, but that would miss out on checking out the conditions on the way up, so we climbed up it as well. There was a spot of ice climbing at the bottom.
A great run down the north side of the Aiguille du Midi in the Chamonix valley. It is advisable to take some mountaineering kit for this ski as it is over a glacier and there are also some rappells on the way down. Not for the faint hearted
