| Local snowboard hire
Thinking of heading up to Nevis at the weekend. I haven’t snowboarded in years—can anyone recommend somewhere for board rental? I don’t fancy renting at the slopes, want to pick up gear either in Glasgow or on the way up there.

I don't think Clan are still on the go these days, at least not for hire.
My brother usually uses these guys when he doesn't bring his own: http://www.skinboardroom.co.uk/ski-snowboard-rental | |

But I don’t like spending money.
Looks like it might be Glencoe instead, on Saturday morning.

And the gear to rent up at Coe isn't that bad...And it's very cheap.

Cheers everyone. I picked up a second-hand board and bindings tonight instead. Already have boots. Just need to grab some trousers tomorrow lunchtime, seems mine don’t fit now that I’m old and fat. D’oh.
