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 :-)

Figures from article in yesterday's FT re Scottish resorts

Poster: A snowHead

Sorry if common knowledge, but I hadn't seen the figures from last year before.

Full article at: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/e5e2702c-faff-11df-b576-00144feab49a.html?ftcamp=rss&ftcamp=crm/email/20101129/nbe/UKMorningHeadlines/product#axzz16l7NAG9j but you may need a log in.

------------------------------

[In recent years] a series of mild winters caused the number of skier days – defined as one person on a ski area on a particular day – to slump to only 80,000, compared with 654,674 skier days 20 years ago.

Last year the number of skier days jumped back up 373,782 – the most since the winter of 1995-96.

The season is estimated to have generated £37.5m for the Scottish economy.

Snowfalls were big and frequent, and followed by consistently low temperatures that helped keep the slopes in good condition. The season was a long one, extending into May and even June in some resorts.

The skiing surge helped Cairngorm Mountain, which operates the resort, make a pre-tax profit of £736,000 profit in the year to March, compared with a loss of £43,000 in the previous year. Two years ago the operator was taken into public ownership by Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the development body, when it look as though the operator’s debts could force it into receivership.
