Freeskiing starts early

Normally the freeskiing season has to wait unitl March to get going in Scotland, even the ski resort skiing (sometimes) but this year we are already off and running. Forming a base on top of the heather is key to Scottish freeskiing and early in the season that is usually non existent, the news this year is that there is no base formed but when you have 1 metre plus of powder as a base who cares?
