 Poster: A snowHead

That looks good value to me especially when you factor in the savings on accommodation. So £120 return on a non refundable ticket, this would presumably be in a standard class berth with 2 to a cabin.
Hopefully more of the resident Scots will give us some hints on good places to stay and transport options.
I'm on for this, assuming we can get a group together.
When would be a good time to go? Late Feb/early March?

Spud9, yes, I thought that price was quite good - I was expecting worse! And yes, 2 berths to a cabin. I'm definitely on for it. I'd have thought March would be a good time but, as you say, perhaps our resident Scots can advise

cathy, I'd probaby opt for the reclining seat as I'd be getting a real bed on the saturday night, now depends on dates (and snow)

holidayloverxx, I did think the recliner seat was very good value but I'd go for the sleeper berth to get my zzzzz

Good poster, like above slightly reminiscent of Cham, Arlberg, Davos etc..............they've all got them................. but a poster is never going to attract new punters unless they do something re access. IMO unless you live central belt of Scotland you aint got a scooby of getting up there for the day (even then its hassle), and if you're going for a couple of days why would you gamble of staying in a local hotel watching Ptarmigans and golfers on the green-fields (because you couldnt cancel your hotel when theres no snow), surely its better to get a few buddies together and hit the Alps, even from North Yorkshire it a more realistic option. For those Darn-sarf they would be hardly likely to go 500 miles north to stand in line for what seems like hours watching the queues dwindle down when they can be in the Alps would they?? 
Maybe I'm being unfair, but the though of going to Scotland skiing (again) never crosses my mind, am I alone here? |
I'm with you - it would take me 10 hours+ travelling, cost me twice the fare (train vs. plane), to pay a not dissimilar lift pass price to ski on a small mountain with no infrastructure and a dubious snow record.....
I can hear the wails of anguish from Scots everywhere to know that I won't be gracing theirs slopes this coming year......

It has never appealed to me either for the reasons given by The Voice of Reason. But then given that I've never been skiing there (it's a lovely place in the summer) I can't knock it.
But it would take more than a retro poster to get me there. In fact my opinion of the place as a ski resort is that it is old fashioned. Rope tow, tweeds, leather boots, wire bindings and a retro poster actually reinforces my image (whether it is true or not).

Goodness,I take the kids for some training at the dry slope (and a first tentative ski for me since having an operation 2 weeks ago) and look what happens to the thread!
Great to see actually!
Am rather tired right now so I'll put together some rambling thoughts later ... love it though
