At the weekend there we went and had a look at the back corries at Nevis. As expected the kids didn’t like the drop in and they just went down Warrens instead. But given the progress they’ve made the last few years it won’t be too long before they’ll be up for some proper off piste.

The problem is that something within me thinks putting a pieps on a sub teenager is a horribly bad idea. But on the other hand, taking them off piste without the necessary kit is an even worse idea.

What sort of age would you take weans ‘proper’ off piste?
