A happy Fraz looking back towards the large drifts of snow which we linked together to give us brilliant non stop 2000ft decent. Only another 500ft of snow/ grass skiing to go.

Looking back south towards the summit of Skiddaw. Our tracks are just vizable coming down the large drift.

What a day!, About to set off on over a 2,500ft decent of wind blown powder. Looking south with the Helvelyn and Rasie in the distance.

Trying my best not to have to walk up, but there was just not enough wind to pull me. Looking s.w. towards Broad End and Skiddaw.
