Xscape and boarders

Was in Xscape Glasgow this evening, boarders outnumbered skiiers by at least 10 - 1.

Oh. Just unusual, wasn't opening the door for another skiers/boarders are better than skiers/boarders thread.

Usually see it 50/50 even if there's a freestyle thing going on as a lot of skiers use the blocks, jumps and rails, but tonight it really was like boarding in the early 90s but in reverse.

But I bet the boarders were all sitting down in the middle of the slope giving the skiers some slalom practice Banana skiing Skiing Razz

re: Xscape and boarders

Usually find it quiet just after work at 5.30/6.00 most weekdays, plus at that time £13 an hour or £16 for two hours.

In saying that, want to go tomorrow but I've got a few things to do at 6, so probably won't be on the snow until 7 ... so will be dodging a lot of people taking lessons.

LOL Martin! At least it keeps the Tamworth snowdome skiers on their toes coming round the corner on the tight and interesting line to find one one sat in the way doing his bootlaces up!
