The previous Thursday & Friday saw a huge snow fall making Glencoe the snowiest resort in the world (according to Glencoe). The whole lift system needed dug out overnight and the road cleared of drifting snow. We thought it would be better to wait till the Sunday even though they did manage to open for […]

Glencoe, Sunday 21st February 2010
An astonishingly beautiful day at Glencoe. The sun shone all day on a gleaming white hill. Most of the pow from Wednesday had been taken, but there were a few pockets hidden around the hill on Etive and Rannoch Glades. The Spring Run wasn’t great for snowboards as it was in the early stages of […]
Glencoe, Wednesday 17 February 2010
The day before the webcams for Glencoe were showing blue skies and fresh snow. It was quickly decided to take Wednesday off work. The weather report made good reading with 60% chance of sun. The day however started foggy and cold. On reaching Tyndrum the snow started coming down heavy. The road conditions got very […]

Glenshee 8th January 2010
Friday trip to Glenshee in one of the coldest spells in 20 years. Gareth and myself met Jon & David W. up at Blairgowrie and headed on up to Glenshee. The temperature was around -11 but the sun was out and sky was blue. Again, considering the amount of snow lying around the whole country, […]
Glencoe 4th January 2010
Another cold day and another visit to Glencoe for my daily shred. Not much in the way of new snow. Much more compact and on the way to getting icy in spots. Lower mountain still rocky. Main Basin at top good but light was a bit flat. This is normal at this time of year […]
