So far this season I've only managed two days out on the planks. Once on alpine skis at Cairngorm there was only the shortened beginners tow open so we went off piste and hit rocks. Last weekend I had a day on cross country skis in the forest at Glenmore, lovely blue sky day on violet wax (0 degree C to -2 degree C). I was hoping it would last till this coming weekend but Friday into Saturday morning is forecast heavy rain, turning colder later in the week but might be too late.
Who know, last year the beast from the east wasn't until March so there is still hope but so far a very poor ski season.
