Skiing is for everyone!

Thursday, March 27, 2008

Get a load of local lad Drew Coupland carving up the slopes with his brother Keir and cousins Alice and Ruraidh at Nevis Range, Fort William yesterday. This was Drew's first time skiing - using a cool 'sit ski', with help from a trained Nevis Range guide. When there's fun to be had there's no stopping that boy! Drew loved skiing and can't wait to get up there again.

If you're a wheelchair-user or have restricted mobility and want to get out on the slopes, why not give the sit-ski a try? Nevis Range can supply the equipment and qualified guide. Drew would highly recommend it!

Easter on the slopes...

Thursday, March 20, 2008

Steve with Carn Mor Dearg and Ben Nevis lurking behind, 15 March

If sitting around waiting for the Easter Bunny to come isn't your idea of an exciting Easter holiday weekend, why not head up to the Outdoor Capital of the UK for some fantastic spring skiing and boarding at Nevis Range, outside Fort William. We popped up for a few hours at the weekend and it was lovely... we stuck to the main Summit Run and the Goose but the back corries were looking fab too (as pics below show).

Weather conditions for the long Easter weekend look pretty good, with Saturday and Monday shaping up to be ideal ski days, with dry days and low winds.

Have a look at http://www.nevisrange.co.uk/ for latest news, conditions and live web cams of the slopes and check out the conditions on the go, with snow reports direct to your mobile at http://winterhighland.com/
