Here's to another fantastic season in 08/09!! You never know, they might be only closed for 4 months - October skiing is not totally unheard of....!!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yup, was a great season and sad to see it end!
Judging by the web cams there's still loads of snow on the upper runs at Glencoe, it's criminal there's not enough punters to make it worthwhile opening though!
As Dave says though there's still snow for touring

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

That couloir looks very skiable....but an interesting dilema would have to be faced:
Where do you put the skis on...and how?

There was a slight scoop between the snow and the rock wall at the top (rhs bit in that photo), so with care it was fairly easy to get my walking boots off, and then into the ski stuff.

Had an absolutely amazing day up at Glencoe yesterday. Built a booter in the Main Basin, where grabs, 1's, 3's, switch 1's, switch 3's, fronts and backs were being done.
Unfortunately for one of the group, his day came to an end early where a backflip attempt (only getting round 290 degrees) ended up in a dislocated shoulder. Amazingly, a hillwalking doctor was passing by at the time who was quickly on-hand to pop his arm back into its socket again! Thanks again, Colin, on the off-chance you happen to read this.
Photos say it all as to how good the day was, and all can be seen here: (there's 2 pages)

wonderful pictures - especially that airborne one. Are those bare knees? Where's the kilt?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

If I'd have known you were up to stunts yesterday, I'd have been tempted to pop along and watch. As it was, I decided it was too hot to go up a mountain so went for a scenic detour on the long journey home.
I (inadvertantly) managed a bit of snow climbing up in the Mamores last weekend
