@Linchpin:
there is loads of snow on the mountains about 20 miles from me, maybe its worth the trek!
I'm just back from Glencoe. Two and a half hour drive up there this morning as it was actually snowing in Glasgow when I woke up and it continued all the way there.
Got half a day's snowboarding in and it was fantastic. About three pm the snow stopped and you could see for miles. Rannoch Moor below only had a light dusting but the hills of the glen, rising up from it, were completely white. Truly spectacular and beautiful. Reminds me why I love Scotland so much.
Drive home was only two hours as it wasn't snowing as much.
I also had the most fun I've ever had on a snowboard, as I finally figured out how to use the dsmn thing properly! :-D
All in all, a fantastic day and tonight I'm off to my favourite club again - life is sweet. ;-)
