The G.O.A.T - Not quite there - But a HEADS UP!!!
We have patiently been waiting for conditions to come right over our January window, to run the British Freeride first event in the 2026 Scottish Freedom Series - THE G.O.A.T.
Whilst there's currently enough snow for a bit of freeride training or ripping about, there not enough to deliver a safe full-on competition.
If the forecasted snow for the next few days comes in, this might create the base needed for the weekend of Sat 31st Jan... So this is an EARLY HEADS-UP that we just might get a run at THE G.O.A.T. before the window closes and we move on to THE MAVERICK in February.
Watch this space for an update and if you're not yet registered (FREE) get your place secured so you're ready when the time comes...
