Generally where the 'skis are pointing'.

Some decent lessons, probably a private, would sort this out for you rather quickly.

:lol: :lol:

Unfortunately not, had it been I would not have had any complaints!

Sweet, thanks. Thought about copying it in but didn't get round to it :lol:

:lol: It was windy on Saturday but not at all on Sunday.

I left my house at about 5.30am on Saturday morning looking to arrive at about 8.30 to start work..

At 7.30 I hit a queue and it took me an hour to get to the front where I was turned around by a police woman because... you guessed it... there was a police car which had crashed in the road. I drove back to Blairgowrie which took an hour due to people unable to drive in the snow. Got some petrol, headed back towards the queue which I joined at about 10.30. There was no movement whatsoever until 12 oclock when we edged forward a little. Sat Nav said 2.7 miles from the Spittal of Glenshee which made it even more frustrating. It took me a further 2 and a half hours to make this final stretch. Made it to skiing for 3 oclock and picked up a cheeky 1 hour private.

As for the problems, people in Range Rovers who think they can just skip the queue with their off-road capabilities just got stuck in the outside lane. The blizzards came and snowed them in for a while andbecause of this the snowploughs could not get past. I blame Land Rover personally for my 8 or so hours sitting in my car.. on my own.. with 1 CD on a loop. B*stards.

Both are widely recommended, CEM who runs solutions for feet even posts on here so if you have any specific questions I am sure he would be happy to answer..

Well we have about 6 inches of powder here in Helensburgh pretty much at sea level.

Glenshee wasn't half bad today either 8)

EDIT: Not my pic

I left Stirling to drive back through here after I made my post on this thread, took frickin ages due to the 4 inches of snow outside and peoples lack of driving ability.

Yes :lol: I'll play.

Stopped at my brothers on the way home from skiing so decided to get a takeaway and chill out in front of the tele before I make the trek back to Helensburgh!
