I started this group for people in the Leeds / Harrogate / York /wherever area that can drop everything when the snow's good and head up to the Highlands on a Friday to spend the weekend on the slopes, getting back in the wee hours of a Monday morning.

It's for people who love the snow and appreciate that Scottish skiing can be some of the best and worst in the world, often on the same day. People that love being out no matter what the conditions, even if this means a button lift in 40mph winds. People that crave adventure and delight in being on the hill, marvelling at how great life can be. It's for people happy to rough it sleeping in hostels (or whatever is available) to keep costs right down.

It's really early days - I only started this group at the end of the 2010-11 season which, let's face it, was a pretty poor one for all of Europe.  Let's hope for a better 2011-12 with enough members here so that we can raise a posse every time there's a decent Highland dump.

This isn't really a group for learners but hey, you never know. You're welcome to give it a try.

And obviously if you fit all the above criteria we'll probably end up riding abroad together one day too, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
