Are there any snowheads heading to Glencoe for the Coe Cup on the 3rd and 4th March. We've got Fred Syversen and Jeremy Nobis judging. Would be great to see some snowheads compete.

Dot., will defo be heading up for the event. Still trying to pluck up the courage to enter though. I'm definitely not good enough to be anywhere near the top, but I reckon I could compete for some G.N.A.R. points 
I also have the family ski holiday the following weekend so would be skiing cautiously... recipe for disaster.

How are conditions looking on the face for the competition? Any updates?
Thinking of heading up for a slide later this week perhaps and will report back. Which part of the face is the competition on, as I am not sure where the Flypaper run is and whether you are meaning skiers left or onlookers. Is it the shaded area on picture(ie the main spur down the middle of the bowl)?
edit - my image isn't loading up because photobucket sucks!

meh, yup, just saw the updated pic of Ballies Gully on the facebook page, thanks. Getting stoked for the competition now! 
Is an amazing effort to get the amount of sponsors and the high profile judging panel together. Proper wee freeride comp in Scotland, massive thanks and congratulations to Dot. for making it all happen.
Fingers crossed for a little dusting of white stuff between now and next wkend. Will maybe see you up there next week as it seems that resort is on lock down for the rest of this week due to the high winds, which has scuppered my plans for a midweek scope!

That's the Friday before the comp. Direct flights to/from Iceland into Glasgow are only on Thursdays so I'm in country for a week. I need to shift stuff out of my ex-girlfriends parents place in D&G afterwards but if anyone is up for some skiing later in the week I've got nothing better to do.

Dot., really feel for you after all the hard work! Praying to the snow gods for you but that high pressure doesn't look like shifting any time soon

We currently have enough snow on the competition face but the further thaw expected on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is likely to mean that there is no ski in, ski out access from the face. This in itself isn’t a problem as competitors could walk but it creates problems for safe evacuation as ski patrol would have difficulty getting a sledge in and out and piste machine access to the base of the slope is likely to become increasingly difficult. With a positive long term forecast for more snow in March and hopefully some more settled weather the difficult decision has been made to re-schedule the event until the weekend of the 24th and 25th March. The draw has been re-opened so still time to enter as we appreciate that there may be a few competitors that can’t make the re-scheduled date.
bug!!!!
