The Coe Cup has the green light for next weekend. Considering the lack of snow on the rest of the mountain the competion face has retained a great cover. See "public reports" for some pictures of the face from today.
For up to date information on the event go to [www.facebook.com]

If anyone cant make the rescheduled date Snowsport Scotland will refund the £25 entry fee. Email - veronica<-at->snowsportscotland.org

All it's looking good for is a slalom?

I was up today, nice runs and sun.

Maybe it's a good time to accept defeat on this one.

YJ, The webcameras don't even show the face so not sure what the purpose of the images above are. We're hoping to have a fun weekend with some great steep skiing and a good craic. Maybe you should join us!!

Ellis Brigham are going to be onsite all weekend with their sales tent so if you are looking for a bargain please pop in and say hello to them.




The base station cafe will be open until 10.30pm on the Saturday night and we expect a real party atmosphere. With music, footage from Gopro (They're bringing there van with the large screen) and a chance to talk to the legendary Jeremy Nobis. Everyone is welcome on the saturday night. You are also more than welcome to stay over on the Saturday night just bring your tent, caravan or campervan and find a space in the carpark.




Lift passes for spectators are £10 for adults and £5 for children. From the top of the access chair It’s about a 20min walk to the bottom of the competition face.

Great stuff guys, this sounds awesome and what a great weekend of weather you've chosen!

But lets hope Jeremy isnt driving after the party. :-)

Is there any pics of the route or face that the comp will be on?

YJ- maybe if they had a categoy for most mingin ski suit you would have a chance of winning!.
If i wasn't busy this weekend i'd be up there in a shot, snow, sun good craic sounds good to me.

Was up there today helping to shovel snow about. Whilst not ideal amounts of snow the gullies are really, really deeply filled still with plenty of line options and a few good looking drops.

Rossy,

Some pictures on the facebook page [www.facebook.com]

hmm i've left leaving Glasgow a bit late, can't decide whether to head up now and sleep in the van or sleep in my bed and go for the early start... see you's tmw either way!

Gutted slept in this morning.. damn pub. Someone should have shifted the webcams to point them at the action..

I don't understand why the website of this competition (and congratulations to everyone who's brought it off) ...

[www.coecup.com]

... has the same very old and negative information day after day, even after the event itself has completed its first day. The homepage is dominated by the following message - in red ...

"Due to poor snow conditions and for the safety of competitors the date for the Coe Cup has been re-scheduled to 24th and 25th March"

Yes, we're aware of that - the postponement was announced weeks ago.

No indication of the structure of the event and running order ... and no sign that the site is carrying the results!

What gives?
