Glencoe FWQ

 

Glencoe was a mix of ups and downs, the up was the conditions were amazing and still are going into the spring season, the down was i fell yet again on what would be a standard type cliff drop for me if i was up there riding and cruising for fun but i just can't seem to nail it when it counts this season in the events, either way the judges still noted the effort and difficulty and i finished in the middle of the standings.
I met some really cool ppl up there though and it was a great event to bring everybody together, A girl called Rosslyn i met on the tow bar up, a nice lil way to meet somebody sharing a tow haha you kinda have no choice but to stay silent or start convo but luckily she was really nice and turns out she was also entering in the event, She had abit of a hard time though in the event like me but i think shes got it for next year! 
Sergi a crazy fun Spanish guy and Danko Croatian dude were in Glencoe for the event and we shacked up for the night in the microlodge for free so naturally we all got to know eachover and ended riding and chillin for most of the weekend until the very end. 

The snow was pretty amazing, the face itself was fully packed powder conditions, the best conditions I’ve seen in any event and location i've been this year, i was speaking to a few riders in Pyrenees who had second thoughts about Glencoe because of the lack of snow last year, well i told you so if your reading this you gotta be adventurous and take the chances! unfortunately i was only in Glencoe for 4 days as i was seriously running out of money which was a shame because of amazing conditions but i also finally k.o'd my wood on the last day and split the top of my board and it now looks like a pike ready to do some vampire hunting so i had no choice but to go back home, oh and i won most falls thanks to my 1st day double tomahawk from a cliff drop, pretty crazy and funny crash but i got a huge bottle of vodka and a new hat for my efforts so if you take a risk your bound to win something even if it’s only the fun prize hehe, the best crash though went to another really down to earth friendly guy we met at the event called David, he managed to lose his ski before rolling down the mountain on a journey over some rocks and cliffs, but he was ok and we laughed it all off. 
The Glencoe weekend organisation was great and i look forward to going back there hopefully in the future to do it all again, i'm pretty happy it all went down and people can see across the world Glencoe is a great ski area! for me now it’s the end of the season and i'm excited to go the beach for some SUP over the season and transform into a fish!
