Just to prove there are a few hard core skiers in the club here are the photos from this month’s Full Moon Stomp, which was held at the Bin Forest. I’m afraid I wimped out when I saw the snow that evening…

Dave says there were some excellent conditions, but the trip back to Udny was a bit nerve wracking.

Here are some comments from Ian

3 participants – Dave Horsley, Ken (Thompson) and Ian Cooper. Due to dodgy road conditions on the Cabrach Road the 3 skiers departed Huntly for the local ‘Bin’ forest for a very pleasant 2 hour ski around the un-groomed trails.
The wind, which had been blowing quite hard all Saturday abated and the forest was left in a state of peaceful tranquility under 2010s first and brightest ‘Perigee’ full moon – Perigee being the moon’s orbit when it is closest to the Earth and thus appears bright and large in the sky.  The skiers were extremely lucky as the clouds cleared away leaving a beautiful moonlit landscape.
