Anyone Been Out Sliding Recently (ie Summer/August 2014)?
Date Posted: 11.17hrs on Mon 18 Aug 14
It's seemingly gone all quiet on the summer sliding on snow patches front....

- Has anyone been out recently?
- Has Hi11y (et al) managed any August turns?
- Is there any meaningful snow left anywhere?

H11lly did her August turns in the first week of August ! So did Windy Miller.

Top PR opportunity for Cairngorm ---but as usual they can't see things in front of themselves !!

H11lly and snow was badly handled by the P&J and others too !!!

Mountain Addict I've been posting on the snow patch thread with links to photos on my Flickr ....for folk to see, not publish without my permission!.... but I skied I think on three occasions on Ciste Mhearad at Cairngorm in July and once at the Ciste Mhearad on Carn Ban Mor.
As George said I was I was up in August too. Think there's been a few folk sliding as well as Windy. The patch was looking very healthy then but I've not been up to see it since the rain and gales.

Yes, I have been up the first week in August for a wee slide about on the patch in Ciste Mhearad, shorts and t-shirt. The reindeer were sitting on the patch to keep cool and I had to shoo them away to get a full run down! Still worth the walk up if you enjoy the mountain as much as the ski. As I say many people pay to ski on plastic or in a fridge, the patches are still better than that.
