Today I photographed the Scottish Snowcross Championships at Cairngorm Mountain. This fast and dramatic sport gained mainstream popularity during the 2010 Winter Olympics. It features races with up to 4 skiers or snowboarders on a slalom course with jumps. Today’s championships were organised by the Aberdeen Snow Sports Club and sponsored by car manufacturer Saab who have a traditional relationship with snowsports events in the UK and Europe.
