Glencoe, United Kingdom

Freeriding

Freeriders will find some good terrain in the main basin off either the top T-bar area or top button lift. Go right off the T-Bar to access sedate terrain (marked as intermediate), or go left off the top button lift to find a couple of reds and an interesting black trail that bases out into an easy green run.

Freestylers

Freestylers have a cool natural freestyle resort to ride, but the weather prevents the building or lasting of a pipe. However there's a new park built by local lads it's located between Main Basin and Happy Valley, which holds the snow well. It mainly consist of rail but if there's enough snow they'll build a big arsed kicker. There's also a smaller park near the Plateau for begginers.

Pistes

Carving is limited, but what there is, can be found on the Etive Glades run of the top T-bar.

Beginners

Beginners should have no problems learning here as there are some excellent short runs to try out which are easily reached.
