Snow still in stunning shape. Still feeling cold but more sun. A full day on nearly every run including a few through the park. Spring Run and the Canyon were a bit scoured but fun. Happy Valley was perfect and the lower mountain was so widely covered, you could go anywhere. At lunch we sat […]

Glencoe, Thursday 28th March 2013
First snowboard day at home since holiday. Snow had puked down while we were away and all runs at Coe really well filled in. The canyon was full to brimming. The light wind was very cold feeling about -7. Snow is grippy and still fresh thanks to cold temperature. Overhead was cloudy with occasional sunny […]

Started misty, firm and fast. The cold temperatures kept the snow hard through the day. Even when the cloud dispersed. Had the whole work crew up, a few wee jumps and a few bumps. It was a beautiful day and visibility meant I could see the rescue helicopter winching folk off the corniced ridge of […]

Glencoe Sunday 6th January 2013
Warm wind and rain threatening to destroy all snowpack. Glad to get up. Started out nice on the drive up, however rain was incessant once in the hill. Main basin was all that was left and was icy and scoured. Made the most of it. But, all snow sports now suspended until further snowfall.
