Riding in Scotland is a much different experience, run won't be as long as than the Alps. But the spirit is present. And some good 300 meters heavy run can be possible. Bloody love you Scotland.
I skied a bit in Norway at Kongsberg and I was blown away at the length of the run. I guess I need to ski in europe more. That said Cairngorm and Glenshee have more challenging runs. Glas Maol in glen shee is a crazy speed run and in the cairngorms the East wall which is rarely skiable down to the lower carpark. I did it once. It was beyond my skill level and I limped down it. (Still skiing)
Thanks for the two amazing videos about the Scottish skiing guys! I've just moved to Bristol from Central Switzerland and my primary concern was: "how am I going to snowboard again?".. well, here's the answer! In the middle of summer, you've made me feel like powder under my boots!
Looks pretty straight forward. Wide trails even if they narrow at the bottom. From the looks of things I would say that White Face at Lake Placid is a far tougher mountain.
You've obviously not been to Cairngorm recently. Absolute shambles would just about cover it. Cairngorm isn't even half the resort it used to be. It's went from being Scotlands best Ski Area to Scotlands worst ski area. I really hope it can get back up there. Had some great days at Cairngorm but now take my custom mainly to Glenshee, Glencoe and Nevis Range.
@@scotsnow8543 Ive skied Europe for 40 years and I’m about to go to Scotland The UA-cam guides are full off miss information about how bad Cairngorms has become for skiing Thanks for this excellent addition to this post
@@andydunn5673 yeah, Cairngorm kind of threw all their eggs in one basket by taking out some of the mid Mountain surface/drag lifts a good few years ago. If they'd left these surface lifts in place and maintained them, then right now the Snowsports community probably wouldn't have deserted the place. Really hope it can return to its former glory. Until then I'll stick with Nevis Range, Glencoe and Glenshee. Cairngorm will always be great for Ski Touring/Splitboarding, that's the only time I go there at the moment. Not a lot of snow around at the moment but hopefully signs of a change soon. Hopefully you time it lucky and get some great snow and good weather while you're here. Enjoy.
@@scotsnow8543 Because of all the bans on travel etc I'm thinking of going to scotland in jan, which do you recommend the most. I'm high level and like a bit of everything but was thinking ben nevis and how many days do you think I should go for because lets face it none are super vast.
Your videos are put together very well. Nice shots, music, and commentary.

Spent so many great days riding the back corries since the late 90's. Love it and look forward to going back.

From Bristol, it's probably quicker to fly to Geneva and go to Chamonix! But if you're ever up in Scotland then it's handy!
Crazy. I skied in Scotland last year and made a go pro edit with this exact beat in the background!! Madness.
I have amazing photos of an inversion at cairngorm where the clouds are way under the ski area.
Amazing day skiing.
Amazing ❤
"It's comparable with the off-piste in the Alps" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When conditions are right which is nowhere near as often as the alps. Too low and too far north.
Awesome terrain! Reminds me of Big Sky... low visibility and all.
Better mont blanc.aprox the same distance from London
hi I was just wondering If the ski resort is open throughout the year of just during winter months?
For skiing - only winter months

Can you ski on Ben Lawers?
there's no lift anymore but with the right conditions it's skiable
not as good as the cairngorm .
uplift is a little better ;)
