Looks like a few of the scottish ski places are going to be opening this weekend, like the Lecht and possibly Nevis range. Was wondering if any of the folk on here are into their skiing and would like a possible lift to the hills on sat / sun from aberdeen way....




not that I'm skint and would like the half the petrol money.... no not at all....

Any good skiing in Scotland? Conjures images of the Lapland theme park scam.

There was some fantastic skiing last season right into about march at Cairngorm, the place was LOADED with snow! Very good couple of days there. However as its the start of the season I would imagine that if anywhere does open it will be limited. Have already been for a slide at the Lecht. Went about a week ago. Was ok.... Not great but ok just

Just had a look at some pictures... looks a lot better than I imagined (I'm not a skier).

^^^^ is Glenshe last season iirc. Was quite awesome.

Check out www.winterhighland.info for more pics and stuff. There's hardly any heather to be seen at any of the 'resorts'! Amazing!

No the snow isn;'t reliable enough to actually hold a sporting event biggrin

Nice car btw thumbup and you can fit a pair of skis and a passenger in it as well! just and the passenger may be a little uncomfortable....
