^ yup, snow forecast at Cairngorm too although not quite as much: http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Cairngorm/6day/top
Snow Forecast tends to change a lot though as and when new charts come out so it's a little unpredictable, MWIS is forecasting snow too though so fingers crossed we are in for a decent snow event. What we could do with at this stage is some brief freeze thaw (maybe a little rain just to wet up the snow) and then this fall to freeze up setting up a base for further accumulations. Looks like we might have a see saw in temps later in the week too so could be good. Of course if the temps suddenly shoot up again all the good will be melted away but here's hoping as we get closer to November, certainly not looking bad at the moment.

Avast Snowheads. Does Anyone know much about ski lessons at Glenshee/ Aviemore?
My new girlfriend has been press-ganged into learning to ski this year. 
She has done a few lessons at our nearest fridge but I was thinking about taking her up for a couple of dec/jan weekends pre a holiday later in the year. Now I usually get a few weekends at Glenshee a year but havent had cause to use the ski school in the past 15 years. Anyone have any recommendations/tips about either ski school? Especially as the likelihood of last minute adult beginner lessons on a weekend?
Also anyone have any b'nb recommendations in aviemore? I have always stayed at the Spittal of Glenshee and been very happy. Heres to a good winter!!

ADubya, would book in advance rather on the day and pay for privates (if you can). Learning at Glenshee isn't ideal. Reckon you'd be better off at Cairngorm.

ADubya, I believe fellow snowhead roga does some instruction at Cairngorm & might know a bit about lessons there.

MWIS today:
"with snow beginning to accumulate on higher Scottish areas".
Hallelujah! Was comtemplating asking the Cairngorm Mountain Co for a refund on my season pass..
(more chance of St Pauls letting the protestors in..)

Strax, steady, its still only October. Ramping is fun and we've had a few early starts the last few years and I would hope and be reasonably confident that we'll get some action again this year before Christmas, but that's still early, as it is most places

Yes Barry, the last couple of weeks will have done good by reducing the ground temp, so here's looking forward to the short day's with fingers crossed in the hope of a snow dump alert
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pretty much guaranteed to dump over the next few days due to the 'Gorm announcing:
"Mtn Railway and Ptarmigan Building will be closed on 31st, 1st & 2nd for annual maintenance. Cas Bar and Mtn Shop will be open."
