Ski Mountaineering in Scotland
By Colwyn Jones
This fully revised edition of the classic SMC title is the ultimate guide to the Scottish skiing experience. Short trips up single tops, longer journeys taking in multiple adjacent peaks, and even an epic multi-day traverse, here you’ll find comprehensive route descriptions for over 140 tours spanning the length and breadth of Scotland, from rolling hills of Dumfries and Galloway to the isolated summits of the far north. New additions to classic routes, stunning photography and clear, intuitive maps offer inspiration whether you’re still honing your skills or an experienced skier seeking new challenges.
Unrivalled access, a unique network of bothies and the ephemeral nature of skiing in Scotland make days out especially memorable. With this guide, you’ll be best placed to seize every opportunity to travel deep into the wilds and carve fresh turns in some truly magical landscapes
Colwyn Jones
Colwyn Jones lives in Edinburgh with his wife Ann, with whom he shares a passion for the outdoors. His skiing journey began around 50 years ago on a modest artificial slope in the Scottish Borders town of Jedburgh. He joined the Scottish Mountaineering Club in 1991 and later successfully qualified as a BASI alpine ski instructor. He has skied and climbed across five continents and led ski-mountaineering expeditions to Greenland, scaling virgin peaks and travelling by ski over previously unexplored Arctic glaciers.
