Scotskibus is here to take the expense and hassle out of getting from Edinburgh to Glenshee, home to the U.K.'s most extensive skiing and snowboarding facilities.

Every weekend, starting from January 21st, our bus will leave early from Regent Road (along from Waterloo Place) and arrive at Glenshee as the lifts open.

So you don't waste anymore time than necessary you can prebook and collect your ski-lift passes on the bus.

Scotskibus offers exceptional value for money and is designed to make your journey to resort as easy and comfortable as possible.

After the day is over our warm and cosy buses will be waiting to take you back to Edinburgh.

If the bus does not run or you don't get skiing/boarding then you will get a full refund.

Booking for the SCUK Winter Bash 2012 will close this Wednesday, 25th January. Only the 2* pension accommodation is still available at £440, which includes your lift pass.

There's plenty of places left on the £125 return coach, which starts at Castleford and heads down through Trafford, Tamworth, Hemel and Hatton Cross (Heathrow) before heading towards Dover.

Our spies in resort (Maverix) say another foot of fresh fell at the weekend. It's looking like it's going to be another cracking trip people.

We have plenty of solo travellers heading out with us, so if your mates have let you down, SCUK won't. Any questions, check out the SCUK Bash forum or the Winter Bash page.

Frankly® is an Anglo-Australian company producing base layers using Neobi® , a new fabric concept we have developed from a combination of organic cotton and non-mulesed merino wool. It means this is incredibly wicking and keeps you dry and comfortable in most temperatures. Great for the chair lifts! Other benefits are no nasty chemicals that wash out and no anti-social body odour.

The cotton on the outer makes it much more durable than synthetics or merino (good for carrying boards and backpacks) and it is also biodegradable. Frankly® gear is designed to be comfortable and dependable meaning that like your favourite tee, the more
you wear it the better it gets and it never stops working for you. Best of all, you can wear a Frankly® base layer on the piste and on your morning commute.

Goomama opened its doors on the 9th October 2010; the vision of Salisbury local boys Mark Gentle and David Oliver. The lads knew that Salisbury was home to a dedicated snowboard community, and a rapidly growing skate scene - having knocked around the snowboarding industry since the late nineties, they saw an opportunity to realise their plan for a specialist skate, snow & streetwear boutique.

Since opening, Goomama has been able to bring big brands such as Volcom and Analog, while introducing up and coming names such as Eleven and Makia. Our commitment is to support British brands wherever possible, to get behind the UK snow and skate industry. We have independent core values at heart - support your local independents!!

SHRED! Freestyle announce camps for 2012. SHRED! Freestyle coaching courses are ideal if you have been Skiing or Snowboarding for a while, Can competently turn down the piste, perhaps tried some switch riding and basic flatland moves and looking to progress further onto hitting boxes/rails and kickers.

We like to run our courses on the quieter evenings at SNO!zone MK and we use a special private park setup. This is because we feel this is a better way to learn and progress your freestyle riding with out the pressure of other riders on the busier nights.
