Day 18 of Scottish season 15/16. I’d been looking out the office window at work all week. Blue skies prevailed throughout the week, and for once lasted all the way to Saturday. It was Snow Fest day at all Scottish resorts and a glorious day it was too. The sky was completely bluebird and the […]

Day 13 of Scottish season 15/16. Decided to join Gareth and his daughter on a midweek visit while the weather was good. Thursday morning was bright and sunny, with a forecast to cloud over after lunch. On the drive up the access road I noticed tracks dropping out of the Creag Dubh chute. A very […]

Day 18 of Scottish season 14/15. The day started with uncertainty. I’d watched with interest yesterday. On Saturday, the high winds were playing havoc. The Cliffy chair was closed and they had to call it quits in the afternoon at Glencoe. Sunday (today) had been forecast to improve. However it wasn’t looking great according to the […]
