You can start a run in powder then go through windblown, breakable crust before hitting boilerplate ice, tussocks of grass and spring corn. And that\u2019s in one run. Then you can return the following day and it will be totally different. If you can ski in Scotland, you can ski anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Variable as it may be, the arctic-alpine environment does hold long-lasting snow patches. It\u2019s on these inaccessible last remnants of snow where Helen Rennie, 65, became the first person to ski on Scottish snow at least once a month for 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelen heads out in all weather and in a very modest way loves the mountains and her skiing more than almost anyone I\u2019ve met,\u201d says Mountaineering Scotland director Allistair Todd. \u201cShe\u2019s an inspiration to everyone who meets her.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0560121\" data-id=\"0560121\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65c2c79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"65c2c79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Rennie actually skied 10 years and five months, stopping only because the Covid-19 lockdown limited her travel to the mountains that sit 40 miles from her home in Inverness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew it had to end sometime,\u201d says Rennie, a newly retired teacher. \u201cIn a way it was easy\u2014I didn\u2019t have a choice in the matter.

Following two rounds of chemotherapy and surgery, Rennie was back skiing at the resort in March 2008 and ski touring again that fall. \u201cI forget everything else\u2014it\u2019s very therapeutic,\u201d Rennie says. \u201cOnce I hit snow line, all my problems are gone.

Sometimes she had a brief weather window and knew she had to get from the school up on the hill in the late afternoon to get a few turns in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>October is considered the hardest month to find a snow patch in Scotland, and in October 2017, Rennie had almost given up. Her go-to patch in the Cairngorms that ordinarily lasts until September or October had melted in July. The previous month, Rennie was forced to ski an intimidating patch on Aonach Beag, a peak near Fort William. Her approaches were growing longer and more difficult\u2014Rennie walked the soles off her Scarpa Denali boots, forcing her to use re-soled La Sportiva Sparkles. Rennie was hiking down scree in the mist and happened to look to her left, and found a patch big enough to make one turn. She raked off the rocks, clicked into her bindings and made a turn that continued her record.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5c32a38 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5c32a38\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-22ff934\" data-id=\"22ff934\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab92a5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab92a5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cI have noticed a difference in the rising temperatures over the winter in Scotland,\u201d Rennie says. \u201cIf we do get snow, temperatures shoot up and melt it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iain Cameron is known as Britain\u2019s snow hunter, documenting snow patches in the UK and feeding his research to the Royal Meteorological Society. According to Cameron, snow has only entirely melted in Scotland six times since the 1700s and three of those years were during Rennie\u2019s record-breaking streak. A 2019 ClimateXChange study on Cairngorms National Park shows days of snow cover at certain elevations reducing by 60 percent in the coming winters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe data suggests that snow in Scotland is more prone to disappearing entirely than it was even a few decades ago,\u201d Cameron says. \u201cIn general terms, it\u2019s the case that there is less snow around now than there was in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iddon has produced a film about Rennie\u2019s feat\u2014Hilly Skiing\u2014 which covers the record, climate change and some of the skier\u2019s personal story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many action and adventure snow sports films feature remote locations, gnarly this or that, international travel and heli drops,\u201d Iddon says. \u201cThat\u2019s all fine and part of the culture, but there are people like Helen who ski locally year-in and year-out who are the heart and soul of skiing. Anyone who quietly goes about doing something remarkable deserves respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film, which debuted at the Kendal Mountain Festival and was screened at the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival, is now part of the Scottish Screen Archives at the National Library of Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelen\u2019s record is not just impressive, but with Scotland\u2019s unreliable snow record, it is incredible,\u201d Todd says. \u201cAs a result, not only is Helen\u2019s record completely unrivaled but almost certainly it will never be bettered.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9063763 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9063763\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d64b9fd\" data-id=\"d64b9fd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-265c9ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"265c9ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/w3mountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4-683x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-37450\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/w3mountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/w3mountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/w3mountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4-768x1151.png 768w, https:\/\/w3mountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4-624x935.png 624w, https:\/\/w3mountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4-33x50.png 33w, https:\/\/w3mountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4-67x100.png 67w, https:\/\/w3mountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4-600x899.png 600w, https:\/\/w3mountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6de2871 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6de2871\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The climate within the Cairngorms, the United Kingdom\u2019s largest national park, is the stuff of legend.
