This video wasn't what I expected it to be, but I think it turned out pretty good all things considered. I was hoping to encounter a bit of frost and some crunchy snow on the Lairig Ghru, but I may have underestimated the snow a little bit.

Long story short, it was a bit to snowy to be fully ridable and I ended up coming back and hitting it in far better conditions a few weeks later. This definitely gave some good contrast for the video.
