Hell no. I drove back home to the chosen land yesterday afternoon.
That bit between Blackwood and Dumfries is really miserable.

Things aren't looking good.. rain and high winds. Hold out 'till next week!

I would say the easiest from Perth is probably Glenshee.

In fact, Nevis is your furthest away Scottish ski resort :lol:

glenshee reports say there is only patchs for beginners.

Glencoe is closed, think nevis is the only with any runs complete

Which confirms that, apart from the odd very short spell here and there, Scotland is officially rubbish for skiing.

I dont think that point was ever in doubt Tony. Only surprise is why so many English people still head up here.

Beggars belief really, when you are always banging on about how cheaply you can get to European resorts!!!

...because there is nothing like skiing in your home country. When it is good.. it is as good as anywhere:



One of my best days skiing ever, the sort of day you look back on and tell folks about, was in Scotland. You guys just need to open your minds a little.
