Six hardy skiers made it onto the slopes of Cairngorm last week to mark the beginning of summer. Yes, you read that correctly, skiing in Scotland in June.
Ski Press reported yesterday that the determined skiers found a sizeable snowfield not far from the top of the Ptarmigan tow. Amused hikers are said to have watched all the action, and the skiers even showed off a few tricks on a kicker.
Perhaps it's time to scoff a little less at Scotland's perceived lack of snow. Winterhighland.info reckons "there is certainly scope for some July snowsports for the ultra-keen".
Since this year's season kicked off in November, that would make July the ninth month of skiing and riding.

Brilliant. A nine-month season! Pity those nine months are continuous.
I meant NOT continuous. I could have also added NOT consistently good.
