This is a fantastic book we have added to the collection for any Skiing or Snowboarding enthusiasts. From lift-served runs at Cairn Gorm, Glenshee, and the Lecht to thrilling off-piste descents and backcountry tours, this book covers it all. Explore more than 360 descents across the Northern Cairngorms, Monadhliath, Drumochter, Glenshee, Bein a' Ghlo, Glen Doll, Lochnagar and the Eastern Cairngorms.

Packed with detailed route descriptions, slope gradings, maps, topographical images, and stunning photos, it's the essential companion for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. Along the way, discover centuries-old folklore and stories from these mountains.

Whether seeking mellow slopes, challenging gully descents, a snow-reliable tour, or the best place to ski and snowboard in midsummer, this guide unlocks every aspect of the sport in the Cairngorms.

"Between them, Blair Aitken, Jamie Johnston, Katie Henderson and Scott Muir must have explored every skiable nook and cranny in the Cairngorms, and their book is the definitive guide to backcountry snow-sliding in this wonderful part of the world."

Roger Cox (The Scotsman & Scotland on Sunday)

"Books like this don't come around often. They are born from a deep love and passion for the discipline—and for the authors' chosen playground: the Cairngorms. Steeped in local knowledge, rich folklore, and a genuine love for the sport, this book is a celebration of snowboarding and skiing in one of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes."

Good afternoon! There are a few dates coming up we will be closed/closed early, for the Holiday weekend and Jase is off skiving helping out the surf club with a couple of competitions. This Saturday it's the Scottish Surfing Scottish Juniors comp, held in Aberdeen for the very first time, hosted by Aberdeen Surf Club and then on 11th October it's the Aberdeen Surf Club Foamy Bash surf comp. Should be great fun, in particular the Foamy comp is all about fun, surfers of all levels come together to compete against each other, see who can pull of the best tricks, best wipeouts and the best wave with everyone riding an 8ft foamy surf board, total chaos and carnage on the water! Head over to the Aberdeen Surf Club page for further details if you fancy popping along to take in the action!

We had great fun Saturday at the Aberdeen Surf Club Fittie Foamie comp, which was actually held at the South Tunnel to catch the southerly swell, it was just a bit too sheltered at Fittie so the decision was made by the committee to run at Tunnels and what a call that was. Ended up with great conditions as the tide dropped. Annie put on a fantastic breakfast buffet for the officials,  and sandwiches for lunch along with Michelle at the Funhouse who came down with hot soup to go with the sandwiches. We ended up with so much food we were able to feed the competitors and spectators. Happy days,  happy faces, fantastic day at the comp!

We will be closed SATURDAY 5th OCTOBER for the day.

Usually on a Thursday we are open until 6pm, but Thursday 5th Sept. we will be closed at 4pm.

The shop will be closed from Friday 16th August and open again Tuesday 20th August.
