With the mountain stormbound, there's a brave few
members of staff who are allowed to work
in all conditions. I think it's the windiest season
I can remember and I've been up here
over 20 years now. And Adam McInnes,
CairnGorm's Winch Cat King, has a unique weapon to draw in
the late season customers. It's not been used much this year,
because the weather's been so poor. The CairnGorm team have decided
to host the UK's first ever half-pipe snowboarding competition,
so Adam has to carve out a special "tricks park"
at the top of the mountain. He's building a 100-metre half-pipe,
a semi-circular snow ditch - and he's using a Pipe Magician
to build it, the first in the UK. It's going to be 18 feet,
so yeah, so a fair height to drop. It's not so bad when it's
soft like this, but when it's... when it goes pretty hard
and icy, it's a bit daunting
