It was a pun from Adam as he posted a picture of the Yad Moss tow-lift asking where it was the other day and received some gentle teasing for not working it out.

A mate of mine is a member of the Lake District ski club and had a good few days on their tow at Raise last winter. Members only but doesn't get too busy as it requires a good hour walk in.

Just had 3 days in the Cairngorms. 1 perfect day. Could have been anywhere it was that perfect. (Did a great little hike off the back up Cairngorm mountain and down other side. Pretty fresh powder was had) Then one ok day, and then total white out today. Good start to the season

Down to Loch Avon Adam? Would have been there, but free bars at Xmas parties on fri and sat night stopped play. Plus I'm a lightweight and can't handle drinking anymore.

Down to Loch Avon Adam?

Not all the way, realised it was looking a bit dangerous avalanche wise and cut off. We didn't have any kit so would have been stupid.

Very wise, a bit of windslab about.

Fun kicker session with CLM today in a quiet Peak venue with decent snow, bit crusty but nice, not sticky or icy even after yesterdays drizzle. Weather looks to stay cold. Met Office bro saying "Long range 10-15 suggests a renewed northerly plunge with increased risk of more sig snow..."

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



Even as a skier, it looks chuffing awesome.

(I think SAChris gave me the heads up about this last year)

Finally got hold of a copy of this - some of the stuff they're doing is fucking insanity.

Was a great watch. Some of the effort they go to for such a short amount of ride time is a bit extreme. Very inspiring though.

Some others i have watched of late that are really good are

Adam, have you watched the 3 hours of extras?  How are they? 

Have seen the film and well impressed, see posts above/below/sideways, but not sure whether to buy the dvd for the extras too?

Great snow conditions over here in N.Wales, the usual runs all have good powdery snow with a good base...Moel Ellio was particularly splendid by the light of the full Moon,  , folk going off the back of Y Garn, Cwm Casseg, and above the metaled water works road (on either ridge) in Ogwen. I've sacked off winter to much fun to be had on the board at the mo. Sweet!

I somehow doubt I will be travelling from Scotland for it.

Sounds good though. Miles and Ding Dong out too?

[Muenchener]

This morning I had the experience for the too-manyeth time: tottering anxiously up a piss-easy summit ridge in snowboard boots while my mates in ski mountaineering boots romp on ahead. Both embarrassing and frightening.

Can anyone recommend me some snowboard boots for touring with a decent vibram-style grippy sole?
