Early Snow Fall

As you may know we have had snow for several days and the report from the Cairngorm Mountain is as follows:

"Ski Patrol reports that the snowfall to date is largely cosmetic, there is no base, there are lots of rocks and if a run can be created it will be very narrow and there will be some walking involved at the zig zags to reach the middle station. Conditions will not be suitable for beginners. If skiing is possible ticket prices will be priced £15 (adult) for the day and £10 (child). "

But if this weather keeps up I am sure conditions on the hill will improve.

However the funicular railway will be closed to the public for annual maintenance from Monday 3rd November through until the 5th December.
