Holiday Pics

March 17th, 2008

Pictures from last weeks trip:

  • Cliffhanger Chairlift at the Glencoe
  • Catherine on the Goose at Nevis
  • It never snows in Scotland any more
  • Looking down the quad chairlift at Nevis
  • Braving the wind on the quad chairlift at Nevis Range
  • A wolf doing an impersonation of Millie the GSD
  • Blue skies, new skis and grins
  • Back on Cairngorm with good snow conditions
  • Snowblind!
  • The mountain weather was horrid, so here we are walking around Rothiemurchus estate
  • Catherine gets to grips with the Land Rover Defender 110 at Rothiemurchus
  • A nice clear afternoon on Cairngorm

It was a great week, and when the snow in Scotland is good, there really isn’t a reason to go elsewhere. The problem is determining when the snow and weather will play ball, and that’s always been Scotland’s problem. We took a gamble this year, and just like 2005 and 2006 it paid off – we skiied 3.5 days out of 5.5, and both off days were a result of wind rather than snow conditions.

If I didn’t need a £300 ferry as well as a 700 mile round trip, I’d be up there every weekend!
