Day 34 of Scottish season 15/16. A one run wonder after a hike from the carpark to the summit. For the second year in a row I thought I’d go for a birthday slide on the remaining snow at Meall a’ Bhùiridh. Niels and myself left Cardoss around 8:00am on a cool bright day. The […]

Glencoe MacAvalanche Mass Descent
Day 33 out of season 16/17. Not really a full day snowboarding, but I did hike the top part of the mountain after getting the access chair up. Last Sunday turned out to be the last day of mechanised uplift for the ski season. However, the mountain bike season was opening with the No Fuss […]

Day 30 of Scottish season 15/16. Today didn’t turn out to be a memorable experience I was hoping for on this milestone of a day. I finally reached the 30th day of my season only to be greeted with boiler plate ice and ruts that would shudder the fillings out of your teeth. Colder temperatures […]
