Dreams of snowboarding on ice Gayle attempting some tricks. Gayle has a snowboarding lesson on a dry slope – prior to the latest Covid-19 rules kicking in. Snow is falling and dreams of hurtling down powdery slopes on a pair of skis or a snowboard are growing stronger in my mind. Alas, with Glenshee, along with pretty much everything, closed for the next few weeks, I’ll need to keep on dreaming. Before it started snowing – and before we moved into the latest lockdown – I took a trip to Dundee’s Ancrum Outdoor Centre which boasts the city’s only dry ski slope.
