They plan to be open weekends throughout May, and into June if there is the demand. We really should take advantage of the amazing conditions we have right on our doorstep (well for those of us in Scotland anyway)

It certainly puts me off going. It's not surprising that many Scottish skiers are well equipped for touring, as they'll need to skin or hike up.

Fantastic afternoon of May riding today on CairnGorm, mostly dry with light Northerly winds and sunny spells expected Sunday - Get up here if you can, summer is long enough!
