<p>I'm researching winter skills courses for the new year. Most cover all the basics:</p>

<ul>
<li>Self arrest</li>
<li>Using crampons and ice axes</li>
<li>Avalanche awareness</li>
<li>Route planning</li>
</ul>

<p>Is there anything else I should be looking for? They all seem very similar.</p>

<p>I'm specifically after something for a Scottish winter with a view to move into the Alps (summer) eventually.</p>
