 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I've got a long weekend next week, and with all the snow that's fallen this week (and what is due). I thought it might be possible to get a couple of days in next weekend in Scotland.
But, having never skied in Scotland before - I don't know were would be best:
a) To get to; Most accessible roads etc.
b) Will have decent coverage of snow etc.
I'd appreciate any ideas or thoughts. Cheers

Scottland,
a)easiest for access are probably Nevis and Glencoe because the access roads are a lot lower and the West coast hasn't had as much snow. Nevis is looking to open but not heard anything about Glencoe
b)best cover just now looks like Cairngorm
I'd leave it open potentially taking in a couple of the ski centres.

There have been recent threads about this. Look on winterhighlands for when lifts are open and also some stuff about accommodation, I notice. I can't comment on Aviemore B&Bs, I only know the West side

Scottland, cbowls30, we're heading for Cairngorm as the snow is supposed to be fantastic over there. The snow looked like it was going to stop now in time for sunshine at the weekend. We are going to stay in Aviemore - at Cairngorm Lodge (if you use the search function for Aviemore in the Resorts Review section you will see my thread for finding accommodation).
