UK skiing-anyone else enjoying our snow?
Hi
Best snow for many years here in Yorkshire. Touring on our highest hill, Whernside last week was great! Karl |

We skied from the Weardale / Nenthead summit to Langdon Beck. Sub-zero all the way, snow was perfect and virtually unbroken sunshine. Fantastic! Even more deposited today - best conditions for years.

Karl Same applies to the track skiing at Clashindarroch Forest, Huntly Aberdeenshire. From the haute route at Mount Haddoch one can see for miles in brilliant sun across snow covered moorland Mike (now home at 'no snow Blackpool' and reading about fresh over night snowfalls up there) |

Was up at Glenshee yesterday, most unlike Glenshee, as it was covered in snow! ;-/ Pisteing (and nearby off piste) yesterday, it'll be a tour this weekend. Best snow in a few years, hurrah!

The Pentlands (near Edinburgh) have been looking white for over a week now
which is pretty much unheard of these days. I'm probably going to join the hordes on piste this weekend at Glencoe. Colin "Peter Clinch" wrote in message ...

Forgot to ask, did you get to Glenshee and if you did what were conditions like up there? Can you speculate what GlenIsla Forest would be like? |

There was good cover on the tops but it was blowing a hoolie, so we didn't go up. I'd imagine Glenisla would have been similar (only two glens over), but there was a fair thaw at low level on Saturday that I'd imagine would have continued on Sunday. A pal reported Glenshee on Sunday was very nice but lots of sun followed by last nights cold snap probably means a bit icy... Now the wind has dropped I'd be inclined to head up as high as possible, either in the Tom Buidhe group, or either side of the ski area.
