Arrowsmiths - Day 2

Day two of our Arrowsmiths excursion we were feeling a little tired for some reason. So decided to go for a quick ski up to Peg Col, this turned out to be a good choice as it netted us some of the best turns of the trip.

Most of the way up to the col consists of fairly low angled terrain but the last 200m turns into the 30-40 degree range and facing dead south was holding onto the goods.

This bit was a blast

The return tip only took 2 1/2 hours so we had plenty of blue skies left, we were both feeling a little trashed though so spent the rest of the afternoon sampling Cameron Huts reading material. The next day was forecast to be a hut day, so I thought Id save the top shelf prose for then. Saturdays fair was 25 Beautiful Homes, I cant help wondering how this bit of literary gold made its way into the mountains.
