Mam Tor gully is a steep and narrow face in the Peak District which hasn’t held skiable conditions for the last 10 years. On a winter’s morning, against a backdrop of a fiery Northern sunrise, a Sheffield snowboarder sets out to have a look. Shot from the hip on simple equipment, this is the short story of what happens when once-in-a-decade conditions arrive on your doorstep.
