Glencoe is still going. After a storm-bound Saturday the weather eased slightly for Niels and I to head for Coe. All lifts were open providing access to spring snow conditions on all runs. Spring Run was best, Flypaper fun. Thrombosis had a nice gully exit to jump and the run down Etive Glades and the […]

Glencoe, Monday 17th April
Easter Monday! It’s been a while since Coe could boast at being open at this time of year. But the news was not all good. Today was forecast 15-30mph winds I thought since it hadn’t lived up to this the last few times, I’d risk going up. I sat in the car as it rocked […]
Glencoe, Saturday 15 April, 2006

Also seemed to have a light dusting of fresh snow. Once again only really the top was worth any attention. When visibility was good, Fiona and myself […]
