MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I've been boarding 5 mins from the house a few times since the weekend. A 100m run through trees with a couple of little jumps the kids have built.
Ok, it's not the alps, but it's actually not bad and to do it just round the corner from your house is great, especially when u are working from home due to being snowed in! 😉
Anyone else found any good stuff near home??
I'm tempted to give Caddon bank a go tomorrow.
Planning to go to the ski tows at Allenheads if I get the chance.
This was our 'Peak Snow Fun' last year with various bits of kit, about 10 minutes from my house:

actually enjoying the skiing up as much as the boarding down!
goan - do you reckon any of the more interesting tracks will have decent snow cover? tempted to give it a go too ... snowboarded some of the MTB trails in whistler and they were a lot of fun 🙂
Too much tree cover, but if you have an old board that you dont mind scraping then maybe. The rocky would probably work though.
i suspected that might be the case. got plenty of old boards though so might have a look although it will be xmas eve before i can get there
I went boarding locally on a smallish but reasonably steep slope at the weekend for a couple of hours. Great fun! Found a much bigger hill for possibly my next venture 🙂
I've just been to collect the keys for my new house, which happily comes with a hillside field (destined to be a little play park for my bikes), it's currently under 6 whole inches of snow.
Can't move in yet and I'm working/away until new year and my board's is burried away, I just hope the snow lasts!
I'm 15 mins from Cairngorm and it's been DUMPED ON!
