Top to bottom riding at Nevis!

Sat 27 February 10

Its a rare as a GB gold medal, but you can currently snowboard from the top of the Nevis range to the bottom of the Gondola.

In an extremely rare turn of events, there's currently so much snow up in Scotland that you can board from the top right to the bottom at the moment, all in all a very respectable 4000ft vertical.

This is James Wright from Glasgow boarding down our summer world cup downhill turned awesome ski run! So get up here while it lasts and experience this one off opportunity!

With the recent snow fall skiers/boarders are able to ski from the summit right down to our base station, which is a vertical decent of over 4000 feet. Normally our World Cup downhill track is used for biking however this is now being used as an extra ski run. The end of the downhill track which finishes in the carpark is also being used for beginner lessons and sledging areas. This is a opportunity not to be missed! Conditions never experienced before in the 20 years Nevis Range has been open.
 

Even on a very exceptional year, this is what you would usually expect:
