Glencoe Mountain Resort I spent the night in the car ready for another great snow day on Friday at Glencoe.

Day 4: 2017/18
Glencoe Mountain Resort It’s a Thursday. I’d seen the weather coming and I made sure I used some of the days I’d banked off work. I’d also seen video of the groomers shifting a ton of fresh snow. I was going to make the most of this long weekend. The drive up was slightly sketchy […]

DAY 10 OF THE SCOTTISH SEASON 16/17 Dawn on Sunday morning was a cracker. The deep orange light streamed through the rear window of the car. Once again the skies were clear above and the day ahead promised to be a scorcher. It was around 6° at the car park level. As I ascended on […]
