This part of Scotland is very alienlike to the UK, its incredible
it is? most of the highlands are like this...
I live in Scotland and didn’t know you could ski here.
Living on the East coast of Scotland I totally agree. Feels foreign to me whenever I travel over there.
It's very alien-like to the south of England. But there are many wonderful areas of wilderness in rural Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, and Wales.
Really? Maybe you're an alien?
3 years ago in glenshee I was bombing a blue first day back and the wind stopped me in my tracks. Something you can only experience in Scotland. Been to Boston, Switzerland and Austria and I still come back to Scotland. Honestly some of the best skiing in the world. Cairngorms getting 2 6 seater chairs in the next few years aswel it’s about time fresh money was pumped in. Hopefully it gets a chair reaction going. Haven’t touched snow in 2 years😒
Similar to skiing in NZ. Weather is whiteout one day and bluebird the next with the weather coming off the sea it's hard to predict
When you live in Scotland and you didn’t know you could go skiing-
Just realised I was in Fort William last year, could’ve gone skiing and didn’t realise it. Darn.
I'm a student in Sheffield and really didn't fancy the drive to the alps after seeing this, I think Scotland might be the way forward!
Ur more likely to get sunny weather in the Alps, and skiing or snowboarding with nice weather is the best thing ever so i feel like its worth the drive.
Or just take a plane
Glencoe is looking epic
That looks decent. Better than the whole season I just had in Zermatt. I can’t imagine the base layer being to deep though. You’d probably want to pull out and old board if you were going off piste
What happened in Zermatt? The place is so high you must have had snow up there?
Hello, Theres a ski club in cumbria, england up hellvelyn. Theres a pull lift and the day pass is 30 pound not sure what is like becuase ive never been up but i live near it. would be cool if you cecked it out? :)
Great video.
Long frikkin' walk up, no?
I sooooo want for British Skiing to be a thing, I really do. But it just isn't worth it for anyone living in the south England especially with the prices of the railway. It makes much more sense both interms of £ and time to just fuck off over to the Alps. And that isn't even mentioning the extreme lack of a snow sure season in Scotland and the lack of actual terrain. If I lived 30 mins from this I would be all over it! Coming up from London... nah mate...
This is i have a dog, and with this Brexit thing around the corner i will no longer be able to take my dog to the Alps that easily anymore (7 month planning in advance needed).
So scotland skiing may be the next best thing for me and my dog.
Wot u saying-there's no snow on Nevis for you to have fun?
@@ir0n2541 good. Support local industry first.
more shots of skiing less talking, but still great video
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the video, more of these in the pipeline.
Meanie
@@spiddyman0079 nah he’s got a point
with the freeze/ thaw and wet snow/ freeze/ drier snow layers happening all the time, the avvy danger in those back bowls must be very high.
Scotland Rules!
You're damn right it does!
no snow this year opps
nice video when was it filmed
yea
Beautiful !! name of the "5min" song ?
Thanks Colin! the song you're after is: Karma (Feat. Loyle Carner)
Type that into RUclips and you should be able to find it easy :)
The Ski Club Thank you so much, i'm a new follower ;) so good vidéos !
Does anyone know who the first British Indian to ski down Ben Nevis is? I am trying to find out and if there isn't may be a chance for me to be the first
its kinda weird seeing that the tallest mtn in the uk is only 3 thousand feet.. My home mountain in new hampshire is 4 thousand and its pretty small
Darran Bewick oh ok thanks for the clarification!
Yer our mountains are pretty small altitude wise but alot of 'alpine' type terrain, and heavily defrosted(unfrotunately) so lots of great views, kind of give them the feel of being alot higher than they are.
I love how on the map of europe you missed out about 60% of ski areas
"deep powder" lol
looks like may in colorado
not that this isnt a sweet video and awesome skiing on the ben!
it is the UK, not gonna get Colorado deep lol
@@jwb143 I thought the same thing. But yea, great vid and I would ride that all day long!
I'd love to see them come to Switzerland😂
wow...and i think i have it bad having to drive 90 mins to knee deep powder here in japan 3 days a week from december to april
You bastard haha
@@MchooChoo2 hahahaha
do people from Scotland like being referred to as the UK?
Who cares?
@@alanpartridge5199 William Wallace cares
@@jsimo1431 And what a gruesome way he went - hung drawn and quartered.
@@alanpartridge5199 but Scotland is now it's own nation Limey
@@jsimo1431 Scotland wants to send it's goods through England to the channel and through to Europe . England should make all roads in, all toll roads ( we can't be stopped now
we are not in Europe lol ) We should make the tolls extortionate so the good aren't viable any more. And when the Scots want to to the same ? Laugh , We don't need
need to drive up and into the sea! We should enforce English waters so they have to take their ships in an arc. Take away the right for them to use the pound. There
Isn't much oil left in their field, what is, is crude and has to be exchanged for refined, still we should under tap it from Berwick. When we have put the fabulous Hs2
train up to Newcastle but accept no coaches, trains, or parking etc to it from Scotland. The City London creates a 1/3 of the wealth of all the UK; it would be Great to . have Scotland cut themselves out of the City and the jobs there. All this could only be the start.
Tried skiing there a long time ago with the Warrington Ski Club when I was in my mid to late 20's, on the second day the so called instructor took us complete beginners down nid wall full of large icy moguls, a truly awful day, by stopping and starting and falling multiple times in about 20 minutes I got two thirds down, but the slope got steeper and it became so scary I took my ski's off and walked down the side of the rest of the run, and for the rest of the long weekend I was just mentally counting down the hours till I could go home, and I swore I'd never try skiing again, and 40 years later I haven't.
What a pity! Skiing is wonderful
I am Canadian , the skiing in Scotland appears to be very sad . Keep trying Scotland.
it is but do the best with what you got, but honestly only go skiing in Scotland for a few days or if you live near there conditions are so unpredictable. If there were consistent conditions would be a free ride Mecca
Joseph Forest The only sad thing is your attitude. All skiing is good and some is better than others
@@Freeride1538Yes it is sad , but not as sad as Scotland's skiing .
@@Jay-vr9ir what do you mean sad?
@@lewistaylor2858 Give it up Scotland , it is not your game .
This part of Scotland is very alienlike to the UK, its incredible
