Skiing is for everyone!
Thursday, March 27, 2008
Get a load of local lad Drew Coupland carving up the slopes with his brother Keir and cousins Alice and Ruraidh at Nevis Range, Fort William yesterday. This was Drew's first time skiing - using a cool 'sit ski', with help from a trained Nevis Range guide. When there's fun to be had there's no stopping that boy! Drew loved skiing and can't wait to get up there again.
If you're a wheelchair-user or have restricted mobility and want to get out on the slopes, why not give the sit-ski a try? Nevis Range can supply the equipment and qualified guide. Drew would highly recommend it!

Family fun in the snow
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
You didn't have to be on skis or a board to enjoy the lovely Easter snow this weekend - Nevis Range had their busiest weekend of the year, with over 2,500 people up enjoying the snow - even if they didn't have full-on snowsports in mind.
Whether trying out exploring on snow-shoes, admiring the fabulous snow-peaked views from the restaurant at the top of the hill, building snowmen or whizzing about on sledges, there was a fantastic family atmosphere with something for even the youngest of snow enthusiasts. We had friends up visiting with 3 wee nippers under 5 and they had an absolute ball up the hill...when we let them have a turn on the sledge!
