More boarding in the Bolton Alps

After thinking through the options we decided to stay local for boarding today, I haven't really been on form so we decided to do without the stress of getting anywhere.  A few emails were sent out and Simon decided to join us.  So just after 10am we set out to the golf couse, I had my eye on another Golf Course but a few runs were needed on the way over.  One short run on a slope and we moved over.  Only thing missing in the Bolton Alps is some lifts so it meant some walking.


Still now the snow isn't deep powder - although there is still powder to be found - a longer run is possible.




After a while we were trying to jump off little rollers and having a great time. 


A lunch stop to rest the weary legs and it was back out again. Since the slopes were still quiet we weren't going anywhere!  Time to start playing in the bunkers, turns out it was a perfect kicker and some sessioning was had.



Back to the first slope for a who can glide the longest at the bottom fun.  Then a tree run and some snowangels, try and make a snowman, and me getting buried in snow time before we wandered back for some hot chocolates.


Another great day on the boards, think its time for more snow now please!

  6. Thought it might be but the hill looks bigger in the pics than I remember. this place looks like a possible spot for a longer run. Bit late now tho, rains gonna ruin it all.
