have a great day Pabs :mrgreen:

So, 2 awesome days skiing at Glenshee. I had 2 full runs to myself and apart from that I spent the time teaching. Had 3 awesome 'intermediate' kids who were happy to go everywhere on Friday morning which made my life easier and a whole lot of fun so spent some time racking up the runs.

Afternoon was spent with one group of kids who got on well (complete beginners) and even saw them ripping around today.

Today I kicked things off with some adult beginners and had great fun followed by a complete beginner group which was even cooler.

Thinking everything had gone soo sweetly and with one lesson left for the weekend something had to go wrong with the 4 kids. Well it did owing to a fear of heights but we managed to get up (1 lift tower more each run) so she wasn't even realising how high up we were going.

Fairly successful weekend and despite the rammed car park the queues were almost non existent apart from the classic bottle necks which are easily avoidable.

Snow is awesome with full width skiing on most runs. Should be plenty to hold up through the coming thaw and provide good skiing for some time!

This has to be the 1st time I have seen Scottish skiing described as "awesome"

:D

One of my best days of the season last year (including Canada and 70cm of mad-fresh at KH) was at Nevis Range.

Scottish experts, a window of opportunity has arisen for me. Possibly, just possibly, I may be able to get a day in on Tuesday 24th or more likely, Wednesday 25th. Going to be stopping in Braehead on the Tuesday night, so could get an early morning start on the Wednesday if necessary.


I need to know where exactly I should head to for the best skiing, and what the approx driving time is likely to be from Brahhead early in the morning.

Also, ca anyone give me an indication as to what a lift pass might cost for a day?

Looking at a map, Glencoe is the closest to Glasgow but Glenshee would be more accessible from the east side, as its just north of Perth, and I have a possible customer visit in Perth....and could stop there too if necessary.

Anyone got a cunning plan?
