Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Midsummer skiing in the Cairngorms?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

There's hope that skiing could take place at the CairnGorm Mountain resort at midsummer for the first time in living memory. Skiing will be available this weekend for the first time since 1992, but it could continue until after 24 June. ...Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/10238296.stm

Not a hope now, it's a reality (or will be in the morning) - June skiing confirmed. snowHead

Oh and I'm alive, last time I checked anyway, and I've skied (using the lifts) up there in June before - might well have been in 1980 actually!

There's usually limited non-lift served sliding up there in June but it's the lifts being open that hasn't happened for a good while, 16 years to be precise. Last happened in June 1994 but if it wasn't for the lifts being shut early for funicular construction work it would have been possible in 2001 too.
