Skiing - Irish style

Climbing our line on Bernagh to check snow conditions!





So over the last few weeks conditions in the Mournes have been alpine.  Blue skies, no wind and snow covered mountains.  Who would have thought you could be skiing after work at the start of April!!






I was lucky enough to get out and enjoy these conditions.  Along with a hardcore crew of Craig, Graham, Ellie and Paddy we skinned many peaks, descended many slopes and had many a big smile.  Below is a short GoPro edit of what we all truly enjoyed.






I think you could still be skiing in a weeks time.  The lee slopes (west facing) still have a huge amount of snow on them and those patches are not disappearing to quick!

Apres ski Newcastle STYLIE!
