bikeperson45 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Getting to this time of year again, Apparently its meant to be bad this winter, or are these lame rumors? I've had people telling me it's going to snow by the end of October, but it's clearly not nearly cold enough yet. I remember last year it was freezing and it only snowed the day after I'd broken up for Christmas holidays, that was sad for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Came the the highlands then. We had snow just above 1300 feet. Some people on here will think that thats not a big deal but considering there is 3 roads within 10 miles that go about 1400 feet at the top and I'm working at 1500 feet. Its fecking bad.

shamus Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'll be coming up in late Feb early march again, hoping for some decent snow like 2010, that was class! Went end of feb this year, much more ice and crappy slush, loved the deep powdery stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish-Finger-er Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Had snow on the ground the other day - didn't stick. Got 3 inches above 1000ft though! Went for my first skiing sesh of the season today! I hate you so much, got new skis sat here, got new bindings in the post,sorting out boots next weekend i think, but still no holiday booked, I hate that you can just go hike up a hill and ski down. whereas i have a 5 hour drive or a 2 hour flight.

Fish-Finger-er Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Sorry dude! Ten minute journey, and I'm at Nevis range too, so no hiking either! Where'd you head out to normally? ive never done scotland, drove out to yad moss a couple of times. keep saying im going to do scotland, but it always seem like a mission for relatively crowded slopes etc. really want to do 2 weeks in canada this season, but meh, who knows.

shamus Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Like me, although I tried boarding and really enjoyed it. Even on the ice, grass and bristles of the beginner slope of the Nevis Range, and no instruction, just trial and error (a lot of error). Want to get toe turns (or at least stop stacking them) next year Think I might try going on the other slopes to actually ride snow next time. Although I found button lifts impossible on a board, so hiked it, was pretty sweaty despite the wind and exposure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 It's snowed here already, but nothing major. Spirit mountain will probably have the blowers going very soon I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperfraz Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 This is the top station at Cairngorm. Photo speaks for itself to be honest...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 To be honest, snow is a nuisance so I'm glad we've not had snow down here. Fully expecting to be stuck in a snow drift by the end of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I love how all the dramatic posts are from the HIGHLANDS. Also known down south as "f**king big mountain with snow on top". Are you really shocked there's snow up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well it looks like he works up there so I don't suppose he'd be very shock about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Wasn't having a dig at you by the way... Just a few Highland folk were saying they have snow like it was unusual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Finger-er Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Wasn't having a dig at you by the way... Just a few Highland folk were saying they have snow like it was unusual yea, but given that scotland isnt known for its good snow record(or bad snow record if your a none skiier) to see photos like that in late october are quite shocking. for comparison, andorra,well up from the height of the village(which is ski in ski out) middle of a slope, and this is the current picture of the weather.
