Up early to make the most of the great sunny Spring conditions. A long warm day with the same conditions as the day before. Many in T-shirts, some even in shorts. 20 degrees and soft snow to play in. It doesn’t get much better. Main Basin starting to mogul slightly. Spring Run was great fun but care had […]

Glencoe 10th April 2010
A late start meant an afternoon at Glencoe. The day was warm, about 18 degrees and no wind. The plateau poma still allowed access. Mugs alley broken but navigable.

As was becoming familiar with Glencoe this season visibility was zero. […]

Got up there and the slopes were desolate. Reports say only 20 folk on the hill. Skiers right from the top […]

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 […]
