I love both tracks up there from the gondola, but always said a blue from the top would be incredible, imagine how long it'll be!.

Canny wait, been excited ever since it was first mooted.

They've been doing some really good stuff up there in the last few years, seem to have finally realised the summer potential.

Fantastic. Each to their own, but I've never understood the fascination for riding stuff that could kill you. Give me a fun flowy train in beautifull scenery and I'm there.

Which is surely what a blue at Nevis would be?

Really hope they do a good job of this- there's always a danger blues turn out a bit dull, and that's big ol project- about half the gradient of the red, which would make for a very nice swoopy trail. Could be a fantastic addition

When they say “from the top”.....? Actual top?! (which would assume a ride from the gondola station to the start?)

They'll mean from the lift. Might have a bit of a ride like to the red and dh

Aye, top = gondola station.

I don't think at over 6 miles it'll be as 'built' as the other tracks, but I'm sure they'll do what they did with the red, and use the exposed rock as much as they can, just a bit less techy.

I'm confident they'll do a good job, know a few of the team up there, and they know what works now. I'm sure Mr Barnes will have some input too.

It's been needing a blue trail from the top for years, at 10k in length and hopefully a fast and flowing trail it should bring in a fair bit of extra business. I'm looking forward to this and looking forward to telling the daughter in the morning 🙂
