Cynic. Did you look at the winterhighland link?

[AndyR]

Dashed inconsiderate what.

Things are getting whiter up here, just hope it consolidates to a base rather than getting stripped back again.

Things are looking good here too....

November optimism 

Looks like Cairngorm are sharing in the optimism

For those of you weirdos who seem to think a board is the way forward, remeber this is released this "fall":

Deeper is now out.  Saw the film, not the extras, on Friday and it's amazing what those idiots are now dropping!  It's all the more impressive because they've hiked up to the top in the first place rather than use a heli.  I suspect that they've got so much footage from two years of shooting that TGR have struggled to make a film that represents the project and that there will be a lot of good stuff in the 3 hours of 'bonus' footage.

imho the most impressive bit is the kicker Travis Rice builds, then the boys sitting out a 10 day storm 60 miles into the wilderness, and then when the storm clears Travis hitting said kicker first go like it is in some snow park  .  His alround riding ability is probably second to none?

Oh and JJ pooing himself dropping out of Tour Ronde in Cham.  Crampons and axes would have been more appropriate than a board and axes.  Serves him right for doing it in the summer.

£20 for a 1 hour DVD is a bit much but including the bonus stuff I suspect it's going to sell and sell...

Any of you bods bought season insurance lately? Snocard say they they're not offering it this season for Canada and the BMC want ~400 quid. cheers

I would say Terje Haakonsen is not far behind. just doesn't have the profile.

I tend to wait a while before buying the DVDs, price drops quick in the spring. £20 is a lot to ask. Or get someone travelling to the states to get it.

[Norton Sharley]

I was referring to contemporary riders.  Terje was THE MAN back in the day I agree.

tomorrow im off work and going for a few sweet steep hills near where i live.  I always walk the line (if i dont know where the fuck i am) as you always see the really thin wire that can decapitate you kicking around my way separating the fences etc.  Anyone else been out in the snow yet?

[SA Chris]

Been walking in it, and driving in it.

Will see what the weekend brings, Lecht and Glenshee are expecting to operate limited uplift for the weekend. Might head up Deeside and see what looks good.

November optimism continues further.

[Norton Sharley]

Do you think that if I keep being pessimistic it'd help to keep Scotland in for a few months?  I'll do my best!

Give us a report after the weekend Chris?

[SA Chris]

You are a pessimist anyway, so just carry on as normal

[Norton Sharley]

I'm not a pessimist, just a realist leaning towards being miserable 

[Adam Lincoln]

Anyone know where this is? I know its in England somewhere.

By the magic of Facebook - AlisonH has a link to it on on her status update.

Would have thought the Poma in the background was a clue, and it don't look like Scotland in the background.

Well obviously it wasn't. All cool and smug points for you already being in 'the know' are in the post.

Don't get all bertie bitterpiss now

Don't get all bertie bitterpiss now

I guess i shouldn't be so surprised! I've come to expect nothing less.
Was a genuine question, if i had a clue, i wouldn't be asking.

[SA Chris]

Whatever.  Sorry if I hurt your feelings by stating what I thought was pretty obvious.

[Adam Lincoln]

I must be missing something then? How does a pic of a lift make things obvious? I knew it wasn't Scotland, but as this place is supposed to be a 'bad kept secret', a search on the internet didn't throw anything up? Don't worry, you succeeded in making me look small and clueless, nice one.

[Davey_C]

Yad Moss is about 45mins from my house, it's not bad for a day out. But it's been getting horrendously busy over the last few years.

Oh dry your eyes. It's about an hour or so from your house and is as far as I know the only uplift in the whole of England.

My apologies, just googled and there a actually a few http://www.snowlion.freeuk.com/sitemap.html
