To Robin:

Feel Free to post a picture on your website. David from Freelander sporran already did on his. If you need higher resolution pictures, let me know and I can email them to you. Also, please give the photographer credit (jason bucheim).

To Riverkilt:

The kiltmaker was the celtic craft center in Edinburgh ( http://members.aol.com/ccckilt/ccc.html ). Also, the tartan is from the welsh tartan center and is the Maddux (Madoc) tartan...my family name.

To everyone so far, thanks for the enthusiatic response! If anyone if ever interested in skiing the highlands in a kilt (weather permitting...I personally wouldn't go if it were -20F), drop me an email and I can show you around the place.

You must have gotten some great comments in the lift line. Ah the spring skiing in the Rockies. I love the girls who ski in bikini tops, talk about road rash if you fall in corn. I done it in a tank top and one fore arm hurt for a week. the joys of skiing.

That is prime motivation for learning not to fall - the road rash i mean...

Outstanding pictures! And you got the good weather. I'd come out and join you on the weekend but my knees won't put up with it any more, I can just see red, green, black and blue rolling down the hill

OK, I should try XC skiing in a kilt. Should work fine, right?

Alan,

XC skiing in a kilt should work fine, you may even get too warm! I noticed that although my knees were cold, once I started moving, it was hot!

I did see another person on the closing day (this past sunday) wearing a kilt over some powder pants....very stupid look and one i dont recommend. If you are to ski in a kilt, go traditional and enjoy the breeze.
