Has anyone done this recently?

I went to Glenshee a few times in the mid 80's but not been back since. I'd like to organise a cheap lads trip away sking for the weekend and am considering it. Arrive late Thurs, ski Fri, Sat, Sun morning, hit the road at lunch.

Anyone have any tips on which 'resort' and a decent place to stay for a group of 6 blokes?

Ideally like somewhere close to the action if that's possible these days. I remember we stayed in Blairgowrie and had to drive to the slopes back then.

Cheers all.

Good points, especially how bd cold it gets!

We'd all take our old kit. In fact it could be a good opportunity to pull out my 210cm Blizzard Thermo V20 skis and do it properly old school!

Just found this pic of the last time I was at Glenshee (maybe 1985 or so) - particularly enjoying the plethora of C&A's 'Rodeo' ski wear. I look ok in the red though I suppose.
