Looking for something to do tomorrow night?

Did you see Park and Pipe Pathway Coach, Euan Baxter, and CEO, Trafford Wilson, on BBC Reporting Scotland last night? If you missed it you can view it now on iplayer. Great to see such positive coverage for our Mountain resorts. Glencoe and the Lecht now have the Snow Factory technology making snowsports even more accessible!

Are you looking for something to keep the wee ones occupied before Christmas? Glencoe are opening their sledging hill this weekend .... the adorable Harry had a sneak preview and was very impressed! Great way to burn off some energy and get lots of fresh air!

Fantastic day filming with BBC Sport covering the new Snow Factory technology being used for the first time in Scottish resorts. Huge thank you to Glencoe Mountain Resort for their hospitality and also to the Park and Pipe athletes and coach, Euan Baxter, who came along to showcase what it is all about.

A great day at the TripleCrown Dryslope Championships at Aberdeen Snowsport Club. A very high level was seen across the board with the snowboard mens category being hotly contested. The Open mens snowboard category unfortunately saw a mistake whereby the U16 men where included in the ranking. This was taken from the categorisation last year but was not correct for this years series. This resulted in two U16’s men placing 2nd and 3rd in the Open Category whereas it should... have been JJ Roberston and Oran Balance whom actually placed 2nd and 3rd respectively on the day. Our apologies to them. We have been in contact and assured them of their placing and that their rank will recogonised in the next stop of the series. We would like to thank Aberdeen Snowsports Centre and Aberdeen Snowsports Club for hosting the event and all their members and staff for the hard work they put in the day. Thank-you.
