It wasn’t until a friend Simone on twitter stated about how it’d been snowing all night that I suddenly realised, I’ve not checked the weather reports for up north. Yes, this year I am late in checking out my usual winter haunts. Usually I am on top of any sign of snow fall up in the highlands in hope that the season will kick off early. Like the previous posts: What a pretty sight... Early Season? - Oct 2008 Nevis gets some powder - Nov 2007 Man is it...

Couple of days ago while checking out the Scottish resorts to see what the story was in relation to snow and nothing really stuck out.  Today is a different matter.

Update It's been over 2 weeks since I last posed on my blog and the reasons are simple, holiday and real life.  Holiday to Majorca was fantastic,  unfortunately the weather wasn't that great but with old and new friends much fun was had.  Yes, being British, chucking it down with rain and we're all the in the pool playing volleyball.  I am not sure if it was holiday spirit or the vodka slushes but everyone was having a laugh.  I will be uploading all the holiday pictures to Flickr over the next couple of days.  If you'd like to see...

When was the last time you recycled?  Today, yesterday, last week?  I have 2 recycling centres very close to me so I recycle as much as I can. We've all got 3 or 4 different coloured bins/boxes for paper, glass, plants and general waste, so we all do as much as we can.  However want to do a little bit more? Are you a snowboarder, skier or a hill walker?  Want to give a little bit more back?   Add this to your calendar: the big spring clean.  This event takes place on the 1st of June at Cairngorm Mountain and...

I am off to Austria very soon but I am fan of the Nevis range.  This morning when looking at the new live web cams it looks very disappointing :-S. The above picture was taken from http://www.summitpark.eu. Cairngorms The news isn't all bad.  If you keep checking out http://ski.visitscotland.com for the latest updates on the other resorts.  Cairngorm looks decent as they posted an update http://www.cairngormmountain.co.uk/news/77 outlining fresh snow and conditions. Glencoe It looks like Glencoe isn't open....http://glencoemountain.com  If you manage to get up north for some of the powder have a fantastic time.

Well we're back from the road trip and it was unfortunate that there just wasn't enough snow at Cairngorm which was a bit of a disappointment. However we still had a good time. I will be adding a new gallery soon with the pictures taken over the weekend and will continue to update it as more trips up north happen. On the drive home we popped over to see how the Nevis Range was doing, and I can't wait till they open. Here is a pic taken on Sunday 3rd Dec 2006 Ah well hopefully next time.
