Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hope this ends better than it's sounding Sad

The Etive Glade is mentioned in the report. There is a piste on the right of the ski area called Etive Glade, but the report also says they were off piste. A sad event. .

haggistrap started this thread on winterhighland 3 years ago:
http://www.winterhighland.info/forum/read.php?2,119633,page=1

Then this happened:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8540627.stm

The slope is just past the 'Etive Glades' run. Look on the OS map for Cam Gleann between Meall a'Bhuiridh and Creise. Sounds like the same slope has gone again. Hoping for the same miraculous result. I don't know who this skier is but I hope they have survived. Thay have called off the search for tonight Sad

Yes, very sad. The slope is far skiers' left of the area.
I'm hoping to ski off piste at Glencoe next Sunday or Monday so this is very salutary.

Thoughts go out to Danny's family and friends.
He was always a laugh and always offering to help every time I did demos up there. One of the good guys you meet on life's path.

Very, very, sad. Good that he was found - that must have taken a lot of expertise and knowledge. I suppose it just goes to show that even expert, careful, people, can die in avalanches. It isn't necessarily because people have been stupid, or foolhardly, but a risk lots of people run. Sad Sad Sad
