Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith present a special programme live from the Fort William Mountain Festival.
This weekend Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith will be bringing you a special programme live from the Fort William Mountain Festival. There's coverage of the spectacular opening ceremony, as brightly-lit skiers and bikers raced at night from high on Aonach Mor to Fort William town centre. And we'll hear from the festival speaker whose Himalayan ridge climb made him one of the world's most acclaimed mountaineers.
Plus, backcountry skiing, mountain biking and climbing in the mountains and forests of Lochaber.
And how Scotland's ski resorts are enjoying record-breaking depths of snow this season.
