Been reading the twitter reports. They still have a team digging out the tunnel and the track and more snow is expected. |

I hope they do get the train sorted. I'm up there on Saturday and the thought of 600 folk in kilts rubbing themselves all over the pomas makes me feel a little sick. |

Haha, don't worry - not much chance of that! Are you familiar with the concept of sticking your tongue on a frozen metal post? Imagine doing that, but with a different part of your anatomy...
I've been up in the kilt on the Scottish slopes many times over the past 3 years. I'd advise any participants to read this blog post I wrote on the perils of it! link |

I believe the technical term is a "Russian Circumcison"  Dirty Sanchez tried it. |

I've been all over the world, Ibiza, Magaluf, Blackpool etc and Tamworth was by far the best for snowsports!! It's intense man!!! You're totally gripped when you're at the top and looking down...

The Cairngorm tweets say gusts of 50mph. Some of the tows are on hold. |

Hey guys we have been up here for the last three days. Conditions at Nevis and Coe have been great though they seem to be worsening now. I wasn't convinced that all the drags would be worth it but getting a few fresh turns at the beginning of the week really made the trip!! At the Coe again today but weather started to come in and cliffhanger chair closed. lower runs starting to look a bit bare and snow getting a lot heavier and slushy now, colder weather and a top up would keep conditions perfect!! |

Not sure what the chances of more snow are but I think conditions will be ok or a while yet. Just getting a bit more claggy. Nevis is nearby and higher. Also has a park on top which was almost all dug out when we left. Coe has some great runs off the very top though. Sure youre gonna have a great time!! |
