Hi guys. I'm back from another day at Nevis Range again today, and what a day. The backs absolutely beyond words. Add fresh to an already decent base, and you get this: Very Happy

I take it there`s a similar covering on the beginners slopes too ?

I`m considering an early morning trip up now if there is.

Was up today and its great, most of the runs on the back corries were open today and there was cover down to the bottom of the quad chair, a pit patchy at the very bottom but you could still run down to the bottom of the quad.

There were a couple of girls in the park killing it when we were there. Unfortunately apart from the odd jump and the smaller rails I'm not that great in the park.

I`d have come up but my son didn`t want to get up at stupid o`clock to go and as I`m babysitting tonight, I had to stay home Sad

Thats a pity Bob, its a bit easier for me getting there, it's only about a 2 and a half hour drive which is a lot easier than your trek from Darlington.

I wanted to go spend half a day in Nevis yesterday and then head over to Aviemore for an overnighter spend today at the gorms but my daughter wasn't up for it.

I don`t think I`ll get up before it`s all gone now so I`m restricted to Cas ( no bad thing but my son can`t get lessons for his age until late May ) so see you next year Davy ! Confused
