@SarahALaurenson @theglenshee @edinburghfilmco @NtlMuseumsScot Yes quite an odd feeling to have not skid once this winter. Seems like a real metric for the current state of climate...

[Dr Sarah Laurenson @SarahALaurenson]

All the talk about this mad weather making me think back to this time last year, when I was atop some very snowy hills @theglenshee with skimaker @JamieKunka & @edinburghfilmco filming around craft, landscape & climate change @NtlMuseumsScot ❄️ https://t.co/CeFD2mgJcU #CoCoNMS

[Dr Sarah Laurenson @SarahALaurenson]

More snow ❄️Reminds me of an epic snow day chasing skimaker Jamie Kunka around the hill @theglenshee. Here be a thing I wrote about that day & the resulting snowy film about collecting craft skill, landscape & climate change in #Scotland today: https://t.co/CeFD2mgJcU … #CoCoNMS

Just finished these Scottish Cherry kids skis. The wood was felled in the customers garden! Amazing grain on the wood. Would have loved to have a pair when I was a Bairn! #ski #skiing

Looking after this #australiansheperd pup for a few days!

@British_Airways We were quoted £120 return for ski bags. Seems quite expensive?

[Lonely Mountain Skis @JamieKunka]

I booked an important ski testing week to Austria with @crystalski and @British_Airways (flight BA-4503 Edinburgh to Salzburg this coming Saturday) and they say I can't take my test skis unless I pay more than the cost of the flight!?

[Lonely Mountain Skis @JamieKunka]

@crystalski @British_Airways They have asked for £120 return!

New cherry Sneachda finished today and ready for touring the hills.

[Lonely Mountain Skis @JamieKunka]

Razzing around glenshee yesterday on the new 'Sneachda 183 FR' a freeride touring incarnation of the Sneachda. Lightweight, stable and fun!
