Glencoe Shut Down
I just heard today that Glencoe Ski resort has had to shut down right before
the peak of the winter season due to cash problems...this bothers me as I used to go there a lot...not so much now as i'm recovering from a smashed leg Does this bother anyone else that a resort has to close because of money problems.... What does everyone think of the Burton Custom X board....I'm thinking of getting one soon.... Craig |

Last time I went there it was raining when they had advertised good conditions. |

Yeah, it is a bugger they won't be opening but hardly surprising.
I'm just amazed that the other areas are still able to continue after the last few seasons. Col "Mike Watson" wrote in message ...

Feck feck feck feck feck. My leave cycle from this job gets me home at the end of Jan when Coe usually hits its 'high season' and Coe's only 90 minutes up the road from me house...feck feck feck feck feck. I didn't really think it could survive another season though - here's hoping for lottery funding! Yip - no boarding from Baku, and the golf course has 7 holes, it's kinda being built. I should have signed on this winter...... DB |

Yip - no boarding from Baku No chance of hitting Turkey or Iran then? Nope and nope. Job's pretty intensive tho, I can take 1 day off a week at most, but even trying to arrange a taxi out of town is pretty wack. The traffic police have a big logo 'DYP' on their jackets. Dunno what it means but the locals tell me it translates into - 'Did You Pay'.....it's that kinda deal in Azerbaijan (if you got a UK/US face then you get dun over). Nevermind, I'm still doing the snowdance for Scotland - I get back the end of Jan. One thing the oil industry has brought here is a Quicksilver/Roxy shop - it's fecking weird. You can buy pirate anything - DVDs for 3 bucks, designer chick gear for no money and then there's a genuine Quicky store in the middle of town (yeah there's also a McDonalds!). Made me think though, in a place like this, Quicky have setup a shopfront already..I never thought of QS as a globalisation anti-christ......ya live and learn. DB |
