 Poster: A snowHead
|
Following the management buy-out of Glenshee just last September, the Scottish mountains have seen one of the mildest winters since records began, reports the Scotsman.
The snow has finally fallen - and settled - ironically, in sufficient quantity to close the access roads on Sunday. However the roads are once again open, just in time for the busy half-term period.

As of yesterday all 5 Scottish resorts open with full cover and nearly all runs & lifts open. On top of that BLUE SKIES all round.

unfortunately for me I had 2 weeks sick at the start of the year so they'd never buy it if pulled a couple of sickies now! Looking at the Cairngorm webcams it is very tempting. I'll have to resign myself to the weekend and the queues!

I randomly chose to drive to Scotland about 10 years ago with the naive hope that I could go skiing. I booked into Braemar YHA on a random date, drove through a snowstorm to get there after which they closed the road in. Well I woke the next morning to see the snowplough open the road to glenshee in brilliant sunshine. It was just fantastic, I had such a great day with blue skies and lots and lots of snow. I never knew then just how lucky I'd been! I'd love to go there again but only if I could guarantee it was going to be like that
