Scotland still going strong!

Good to see the guys still getting after it back in Scotland, whilst we are melting in a heatwave out here in the Alps!

The Scottish scene is really inspiring at the moment, with so many motivated ski-mountaineers around...

Blast from the past

They may not be off piste, but these 2 videos are a real blast from my past - thanks to Mark Petty for posting them elsewhere - I can still remember getting Roc Petrovic (who crops up in one of these videos) to autograph my Dynastar Courses at one of the Scottish FIS races featured here mid-80s...

Nevis Range and Ben Nevis guidebook

Big news for any Scottish skiers (and all those who haven't sampled the delights) is the imminent arrival of a backcountry skiing guidebook for the Ben Nevis/Nevis Range area from our good friend Kenny Biggin at skimountain.co.uk.

Kenny was born and bred skiing these mountains and knows the place like the back of his hand. A fuller review will be forthcoming once we get our hands on a copy, but really we suggest you just head over to the skimountain website and pre-order your copy now and support all the work Kenny has put in to this guide.

For a flavour of Scottish gully skiing Kenny's Hidden Gully film is well worth a watch too!
