Sorry Glencoe

Posted on 10th March 20233rd August 2023

It’s not cheating if we’re on a break. Sorry Glencoe, but with now snow in the west I had to up-sticks and head east to make the most of some recent snowfall.
I left Glasgow super early and arrived in the car park at Cairngorm Mountain by 8am.

Desperado

Posted on 25th February 202330th March 2023

25th February – I don’t know what I was expecting, but I was so desperate to go snowboarding, I gave little thought to the experience I would have on the downhill.

The Gathering

Posted on 18th February 202330th March 2023

Poor conditions prevail and the guys at Glencoe along with Snowpark Scotland, pulled a freestyle park together on the sledging slope for The Gathering. On the upper mountain Main basin continues to be the largest area on snow on the hill.

Lucky for Some

Day 10 for me snowboarding at Glencoe.
Things were starting to look desperate on the mountain regarding snow cover. I had friends visiting with their kids and some had very little experience on snow. Hw would they get on?
