This seems to be the tagline for winter 2014.
From the beginning of this winter a shifting Jet stream has brought strong winds, normally from the South, and huge dumps of snow.
The SAIS report has regularly shown areas of considerable or high avalanche risk, with huge cornices building on every edge, coire rim and steepening imaginable.
The high winds and unstable snow made getting quality days out in the hills very difficult, and planning days included plans from A to Z and changing those plans at the drop of a hat.
It's been a real lesson in Scottish winter conditions this year and the importance of being dynamic when planning days out. Having some local knowledge can be an indispensable tool.
Despite the tough conditions there's been some fantastic adventures to be had and once again the winter has been an incredible experience shared with some amazing people.
It's not been a great season for photos, but here are some of my favourite:
