Day 33 of Scottish season 15/16. I woke around 6:00 to the wind and rain rattling the window. So thought I’d lie in a bit. The winds were supposed to abate later in the morning so I figured there should be no rush. On checking Winterhighland, Glencoe had announced things were on hold until 9:00. […]

Day 27 of Scottish season 15/16. It had been a late night as I repaired my board from the previous day and only finished p-texing and waxing my board just before 1:00am. I left just after 8:00am to get to the hill just before 10:00am. Today had been forecast to be sunny, but it was actually […]

I reacted to Glencoe Mountain Resort’s Facebook post the evening before predicting fresh snow and sunshine. I hastily arranged to be there next morning. Many like minded folk had made Glencoe their destination this morning, so […]
Glencoe Freeride Clinic
Day 15 of Scottish season 15/16. Today was the day for the Glencoe Freeride Clinic. It started once again in bright sunshine and conditions looked epic. Loads of cover and great visibility. The group of skiers and snowboarders congregated at the top of the access lift for 9:20 and we introduced ourselves and shared our […]
