Cheers! 4th pic is from Norway, so not relevant for this thread :)

As you know I post the occasional Scottish ski photo on here and was wondering if you would like to help me? (again!) :bow: Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival 2015 Photo Competitions Voting for this year's EMFF photo competitions started on Thursday 22nd and runs for Two weeks. I have four...

Some early season shots from the 2013-14 winter here in Scotland - great conditions for early November! ^ Ski touring 2,000ft from the gondola at Nevis Range before the lifts open for the season 8th Nov 2013 ^ First steep turns of the season high above Loch Avon, Cairngorms 9th Nov 2013

Thanks Tony, we've had mainly decent winters since 2008 after a few horrible ones in the mid 2000's. March 2013 was one of the coldest on record (for Scotland)We had snow to sea level lying around just before the end of the month. The SW hairdryers that typically bring warm, wet weather seem to...

Thanks Tony, the snow cover and quality was generally very good with skis on from the car every day. Most of the summits had cloud but we usually got lucky and a weather window appeared - no point in skinning for five hours and then not being patient enough to hang around for a while to get the...

Thanks admin, glad you liked them. Kept me busy during the summer months :) Now just awaiting the snows to arrive for normal service to be resumed!

Scotland - Western Isles & West Coast Cycle Tour 2013 Best viewed by selecting 1080pHD in YouTube and fullscreen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlR_mknVLPY In the ski off season I decided to tour the Outer Hebrides, one of the more remote outposts in Europe taking in the magical St Kilda...

A while back I posted some photos from the first few months of the Scottish'12-'13 season, here are some more from the latter half of the season. ^Taking on the steeps above Strath Nethy, CairnGorm 3rd March 2013 ^Inbounds at Glenshee on a powder day 10th March 2013 ^ Fresh tracks under...

While everyone is waiting for the snow to arrive I thought I would share a YouTube video/slideshow from my adventures with a couple of friends back in April in the amazing ski touring paradise that is Northern Norway. Arctic Circle - Ski Mountaineering in Norway Best viewed by selecting...

I forgot to update after my last post - thanks to anyone who voted. The Coire an Lochain photo finished in 1st place at the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival and the Ben Nevis shot finished 2nd. A few shots from the 2012-13 Scottish ski season so far.... ^ Skiing through the mist off the...

Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival Photo Competition In the last couple of years I've posted some Scottish ski photos on the forum and two of the more recent photos from last Spring have made it through to the final 12 in this year's Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival Photo Competition. The...

q, from previous discussions I remember you as a glass half empty type of guy but after your latest post I fear the glass has now been emptied and sorely in need of a refill! :-) Fuel Prices - Most ppl who travel any distance to ski in Scotland, car share and split travel costs. Even a small...

Thanks Harvey44. Ben Nevis is a real Jekyll and Hyde mountain. The traditional walking route up the mountain is very benign and simply follows a relatively dull route up to the summit largely bypassing all the fun stuff. Many walkers can summit without seeing any of the amazing scenery that...

Thanks Tony and Admin. Remarkably with the exception of two days it has snowed every day at CairnGorm in the month of May which is all the more bizarre considering there was no lift served skiing within the month of March for the first time in 50 years. Flyover, glad you like the shots :) The...
