It's a bit of a trek to Glasgow for a dry slope.....take it you are living up here?
Bearsden has a good kicker, used to go up there a few years ago. Legion was originally based there.
There is also Glasgow Ski & Snowboard Centre @ Bellahoutson - just up from Ibrox Stadium (jct 23 M . They have a nice snowflex slope with a kicker, rails and quarter pipe
Google maps G41 5BW and you will see it, though I think the photo is a few years ago! |

Yeah it is a bit of a trek 
I'm in Newcastle; and the closest snowflex slope that I can use is Halifax. The problem is that it's a bit run-down; ok if you're close by, but driving the best part of two hours to find the main lift isn't working can be a bit annoying.
That's why I was considering an extra hour for a better slope...
I'll take a look at the slope at Bellahoutson too,
cheers, Gav |

Gavin.
give sheffield a visit. and to cut down the travel tiredness you can crash at my place if you need.
Sheff has a decent kicker, a cornice, a quarter pipe and the only carpet halfpipe around.
the slope is worn in places but the regulars throw down 5's 7's and more off it daily
