The jump was good back in the day, though ain't been in years. The main slope is usually bone dry and you don't slide much! And lots of weeds growing through at the top as they cannot use weed killer due to it being a conservation area.
If you can get yourself to bearsden there is a cracking snowflex jump, tabletop jump and a quarter-pipe to play on.
Bella also has well-maintained slopes. They are currently having a new development which is re-grading the existing nursery slope and a new snowflex slope with rookie rail, c-box, 2 kickers a quarter-pipe and more! Should be fully open by the end of the summer! |

hillend is ok i guess, the strathclyde uni club use to go once a week, not sure if they do nowadays. but as graham said, snowflex is the way forward and the bearsden slope is rather nifty.
me, well im still more or less a dry slope virgin, so what the hell do i know  |

Hillend is the longest artificial slope in europe, nice runs(chair & 2tows) and a 2 jumps in snow flex.
Freestyle session(with straight box, a-frame and c-boxes and free coaching Friday) 6.30-8.30pm
Good fun at fairly low price! |
