Scotland 08/09

Pablo,
You could go and get a bit of the snow and put it in the freezer and save it until next year - that's what my younger daughter does when it snows here. If your freezer is big enough you could even make a miniature snow garden, with a tiny Pablo on skis whizzing down the miniscule piste.

:lol:

I'm off to Cairngorm tomorrow - wet snow is better than no snow!

The temperature is forecast to drop below 3 degrees at the top Cairngorm next week so we may have a couple more weekends left before the end of the season.

With wind chill -50 :shock: :shock:

The top of Cairngorm was great today; the snow had firmed up overnight and the upper runs were in good condition. The cas car park was almost empty at 10am when we arrived, which makes a change, and the slopes were very quiet until lunchtime.

For beginners, the Ciste Bowl and Fairway are almost full width, and the Ptarmigan Bowl is (as always) full width, but looked a little icy in places.

Traverse, Upper Cas and the 105 are still fine until the lower parts of the run. Gunbarrel looked a little too bare so we didn't ski it.

It was snowing from about 1pm and with the forecast for cold weather next week we should have at least another week of skiing at Cairngorm, if not more.

I'm not sure where Wickers found the windchill of -50 but the temperature was about 0 deg when we arrived with 5 to 10 mph winds, which was perfect.

You Scots are so sensitive over your grass skiing conditions.....but mind you it's nothing that a sense of humour wouldn't cure :wink:

Wickers.....sense of humour; Wickers.....sense of humour. No, sorry, I can't see the connection. :lol:

Also, who said I was Scottish? I just said I live in Scotland! 8)
