Yes, well I am off to Austria on Saturday,to get the best out of my Tirol Season card. Just thought I would sandwich it between
Glenshee and Cairngorm trips!
Gaz, the temperature is forecast to stay low, so April skiing looks to be good standard. May and June likely to be a bit porridgy, but you can still move it!
Always worth checking the weather on Winterhighland site. Avoid very windy days, and also when it is bad viz ~ many runs are featureless, and it is easy to ski off into trouble.
Cairngorm is especially good. It is possible to get a train service from North England on Friday afternoon to Aviemore, get there at 10.30 ish. Stay a couple of nights,then train back home, arriving late Sunday.
