We had a great day in the snow yesterday with Khumbu and Bruno up in the Sierra Nevada. It was a blue sunny sky at 18C deg, perfect. Khumbu did very well with his skijoring in helping Richard up hill on his skis and Bruno just wanted to save all skiers! [MEDIA=15]

There has been an avalanche at the Sierra Nevada ski resort, 3 were trapped but all were rescued. There is a video showing the dogs at work, people probing the snow for the skiers and them being dug out. Click this link to see the video

Emma and I took the dogs for a day out in the snow in the Sierra Nevada last week. We all had a great time, photos and video attached to prove it. [MEDIA=9]
Spanish Highs had 4 clients on Wednesday and having had lots of snow they were split into two groups, 3 for winter skills/alpine introduction with Mike and 1 for ski mountaineering with Richard.
