Glenshee ski center offers extensive snowboarding facilities with beginner’s, steep, freestyle and alpine terrains. It’s ideal for complete beginners while it has enough to test even the most experienced rider. It offers some of the steepest runs -Tiger, Glas Maol and Carn Aosda- and the best freestyle terrain in Scotland.
Expect sudden weather changes and be aware of possible hill evacuation. Accommodation is not a problem as there are many places around where services are provided. There are also plenty of eateries dotted around so you will never be queuing too long for food or drink. Keep in mind that there is no winter bus service and the nearest rail station is Pitlochry, 52 km /32 mi away so you will probably have to go by car like most visitors do.
All in all, whether you want to lay out some big carves, throw some moves over the jumps or simply, catch some air or check out the sport for the first time, Glenshee has it all!

The huge benefit of stand up paddle surfing over regular surfing is that much smaller less steep waves are catchable before they break, and as the boards are much more stable it is easier to pick up. Additionally, as you start in a standing position, there is no popping up onto the SUP, while the paddle can be used for extra stability and drive on the wave.
Camber offers some for stand up paddle surfing with both small and big waves.
Course Duration: 2 hours
The first two days of this course follow the same outline as the 1 and 2 day courses (above) and it then offers another full day on the board to really master the board start and go on to controlled edging, upwind riding and turns.
