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 32 of Scottish season 15/16. Glasgow was bright and sunny in the morning and the hill looked bright on the webcams before leaving. Once on the hill the though snow clouds started rolling in again sending flurries down from a grey sky with occasional blue patches and bright spells. Fresh snow had been fallen […]

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 […]
