How on earth did you manage to half inch a pair of Skis in Ayrshire??

Or are they really just barrel staves?

Been thinking about looking online at skiing holidays abroad - Scotland's too far for me for a weekend. No doubt the tv will be showing the pistes full over the weekend - lucky people.

Scottish Skiing, otherwise know as 'Rock Hopping' or 'Mud Skipping' dependant upon the time of year.

I would urge the elderly to take care in the snow and ice. Crumbly old bones can soon snap like dry twigs - especially femurs. You have been warned.

Bin bags are for amateurs, get yourself a good feedsack, much stronger plastic!

On a more serious note, it's the usual problem as I remember from many years ago, good snow but not so good access to the slopes due to said snow on the roads!

Skis? What's wrong with the bonnet off a stolen Mondeo?

Been up the A82 twice since the cold weather and found it to be fine

This is a better report for the slopes

Just back from the Nevis range today excellent you can ski over the full mountain and down to the car park which would give you a couple of miles of a run. More snow due later in the week.

Seriously get your arrse's up once in 10 year snow conditions which should extend the season by a fair few weeks
