Summer time

Waiting for the snow at the start of the season….  The last strips of snow are quietly melting away from the corries and bowls and taking many happy snowy memories with them on the journey to the sea. The sun is out and most people are also thinking of heading beach wards in anticipation of a good summer ahead. Before the happy snow memories disappear all together for another season I decided to put together a small collection of my favourite Scotland snow shots from the 2007/2008 season. It really did prove to be one of the best snow seasons for a long, long time.

I got to ride some real powder, ride a powder kicker in the Cairngorm back-country, do a few lines and generally have a great time riding the pistes and parks right here in Scotland. Can’t ask for more than that. Now all I ask for is a bit of sun shine and a few waves as I am heading to Tiree, following the last of the melt water down to the sea.The Head Wall in full Glory.

My favourite line is on the left, Aladdins Couloir

    
I hope you all had as much fun as I did right here at home on our home grown snow. See you in the sea!!!!!!!! Bring on the waves…
