 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
My son and I will be in Pitlochry for a day over Christmas (with ski gear but no car) and fancy a day skiing / boarding at Glenshee. Any suggestions of how to get from one to t'other (and back at the end of the day)? Are lockers available to store non skiing kit?

No public transport I'm afraid - you'd need to hire a car. The route from Pitlochry to Glenshee isn't particularly well frequented either so I wouldn't fancy your chances of hitching. No lockers, but since you have to drive...
Cairngorm is potentially doable by public transport from Pitlochry (train to Aviemore, then bus to the slopes), but you'd need to check timetables.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks for all the advice. In the light of that, we may change our plans.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Glenshee is great but not likely to be open at Christmas I'm afraid, you never know though and it can change so fast. Plenty other stuff to do round about or head further north!

Maybe ask on the Glenshee facebook page, might be someone driving from Pitlochry. Could well be snow over Christmas, impossible to say just now though.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I think that you would have to be VERY lucky to see Glenshee open by Christmas.

I drove the A9 last Sunday. Went from -5 to +2 in about 15 minutes at one point!
