RANNOCH RACE - BANKED SLALOM
GLENCOE | 21st March
The Rannoch Race is Snowsport Scotland's snowboard only race event. The idea is for an inclusive snowboard race that can run as long as there is snow on the ground. Rather than promise a banked slalom and then have to cancel when there’s only a thin layer we’re going to stay flexible and put on a race that suits the conditions.
