Dry slope
Bearsden (Glasgow) · East Dunbartonshire · UK
Historic Scottish ski club in Greater Glasgow with an Olympic pedigree, featuring a 100m race slope, freestyle park, and Neveplast matting.
A cornerstone of Scottish ski racing on "The Mound" since 1963, Bearsden has developed multiple British Winter Olympians on its compact 100-metre hill. The slope packs intense technicality, combining high-speed Neveplast race pitches with a dedicated freestyle arena, jump ramps, and an authentic alpine log-cabin clubhouse bar.
