Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Looked lovely, I'm hoping to get some smaller gullies done in Snowdonia this winter so fingers crossed for the snow.

There's snow now, I'd say the question is whether it'll be skiable, or provide 'interesting enough' skiing by Xmas ... who knows but I live in hope and expectation Toofy Grin

Yeah you're right though, word is getting out! snowHead

ed123, it gets skied pretty regularly. I've done it twice on a snowboard (both times late April/early May). It is approximately fecking-steep at the top. I think as much as 55° very briefly depending on the state of the cornice, mellowing quickly to something slightly more sensible. The top part is all above a large cliff (Tower Scoop) so you really don't want to get it wrong!

Scarpa, david@mediacopy, me too, thinking of things like central trinity on snowdon and parsley fern gulley into cwm glas mawr. Looking for ski partners, I know the area pretty well but don't know how much has been skied/boarded I'd guess most things have been done but are rarely in good condition.

Great line & great film! Being mid summer makes it even better Very Happy
Solid work from offpisteskiing (again)

Blairs film 'Steep Scotland' from the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival is online now too.
Also worth a look.

Cheers for all the positive feedback folks - makes the hours sat behind the computer editing all the more worthwhile...!
ed123, as stevomcd says, it gets skied/boarded quite regularly - a mate of mine has skied it pretty much every year for the last 10 years...

The top few metres will depend entirely on the cornice - which can be absolutely huge - but it cools off to steady 40/45 pretty quick.

Well worth a look, as are all the other classics up there (2, 3, 4, 5 etc)
Fingers crossed for another good snow year for Scotland...

Any snowheads up for a mid May Scottish walk/ski given good snow then? some of those runs in the Blair film don't look as steep as offpisteskiings one, and it's my birthday on Sunday 15th May 2011................

Nice video, how cold/warm was the mountain stream Simon Wink

offpisteskiing, wonderful video, thank you. (The boot-packing looked knackering and the top looked terrifying, though. Shocked)
