Latest From CairnGorm
January 29, 2007
Hello Everybody.
Well the overhead conditions are somewhat damp and on the wrong side of the zero degrees!
However we still have skiing in the Ciste & Ptarmigan and half of Coire Cas. We hope for some more white stuff and quickly. Our new Cardiac Science G3 defib arrived on Friday so we are now back up to 2 defibs on site. Many thanks to British Heart Foundation (www.bhf.org.uk) for supplying the valuable bit of kit.

Glenshee news
January 26, 2007
Hi we have now been open a week. During the week it gradually got better , yesterday was a glorious winter's day clear and crisp. Piste skiing was good off piste a bit wind slabby with a crust but it skied and boarded out well. Unfortunately it rained last night so all the superficial snow on the heather has gone but there is still plenty in the runs with the odd bear patch and rock. We haven't got the whole area open as yet but most of the Cairnwell bowl is operational and we will go as far as Tom Dearg and Cluny tomorrow. look on Glenshee web site for photos from today.
Gots lots of keen patrollers with about 4 rookies of varying ages!! thanks to everyone for their support.
Only 3 casualties so far, 1 # femur neck of 57 yr old woman not much pain lots of swelling no shortening muscles spasming. Used vacuum mattress did offer entynox but she didn't like it.
2 Coughing up blood after falling on chest and shoulder, had a Dr look at him who seemed to think not a lot wrong, good lung sounds no breathing difficulty good vital signs so he went home with instructions if he felt at all bad to go to A+E.
3 1" laceration to shin right down to bone. Dressed and sent for stitches.
That's all folks off to get ready for the weekend and a girly supper at my house.
Cheers Kate
