i am not sleeping head to toe with any of you batty boys :lol: - may manage the tuesday to thursday.
aviemore area had a lot of snow the last 2 days, the ski area hasnt improved much but that is largely due to the weather coming from the nw and the snow (presumably) getting dumped on the se side of the hills. the current forecast for sat is 9mph from the se, which should equate to 14+mph on the tops. the particular spot that i am thinking of treking to (about 1-1.5 hours from the car) faces se and has slopes to both sides so should have collected the snow well.
of course there is no guarantee but i would think that this may be the last chance to grab some snowkite action - i am gonna take the gamble mesen.

H'mm that sounds interesting. I'm not sure if I can escape this w/e but would be keen to know if you guys do get something organised.
