 Poster: A snowHead
|
Ski and Board for £9.25 a day this coming May Holiday Weekend on CairnGorm Mountain, with various events throughout the weekend for skiers and non skiers alike. If your a past season ticket holder and still have an old season ticket listen up - If you can produce a CairnGorm Season ticket for any season from 61/62 onwards you can ski for free (get your free ski ticket from the Ticket Office!)
Equipment Hire available at half the normal day rate and lessons available by arrangement, good cover in the Ptarmigan Bowl means there's still excellent areas for trying out a new snowsport!
Other activities include sledging in the Sledge Park by the Ptarmigan Restaurant, Avalanche Transceiver treasure hunts, geo-caching, snow mobile rides, piste basher tours, ranger guided walks, snow castle and piste art comp, public dual slalom course - taken on your mates/family.

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

I'm heading up with the family for Saturday, Sunday and Monday - lots for them to do 
If the snow is pretty much as seen in the photos from last Sunday I'd be up for a slide down the Ciste Gully/West Wall (will be a walk out to the Ciste car park) and maybe a trek over the back (short one if no touring adaptors and skins available for hire anywhere).
Anyone else heading up for the weekend or even for a day?
Should be a nice end to a great season!
You gonna be on the hill Winterhighland?

I'm hedging my bets, the Gorm might escape with the better weather Sat and Sunday so will see if anything is go in the West on Monday. Have had a few great May Day holiday Mondays lapping the Braveheart in a T-shirt, so fingers crossed and it would be great if Glencoe gets in one more day, if they do, I'll be there. That said will def. be on the 'Gorm at least one day. Let me know what your plans are.
Mountain Spirit are still hiring touring gear, though maybe others will have the same idea of hiring touring kit, maybe give them a ring to see if they expect to be busy or have had much interest in this weekend.
I'm hoping that with sightseers, holiday makers, skiers, walkers, climbers all being boosted by the holiday that we might just get into shuttle bus territory with a bit of luck, if not there should be plenty of people heading up through the day to hitch lifts round from the Ciste!

Sounds rather tempting and Monday could be a goer for me too given the road west is one way of heading south again lol

Good idea, I'll give them a shout just to see what the score is.

Good point, I was forgetting hitching is pretty easy round there.
Here's to a good 'un!
