Ski in Scotland

The weather and the snow conditions at Scotland's five resorts have never compared favourably with the continent. A spate of mild Winters has even threatened to bankrupt the industry while periods of heavy snowfalls can be accompanied by high speed winds and poor visibility.

Every regular Scottish skier will have their own horror stories - the rocks, the slush, the ice, the wind - but also will have at least one story of a heavenly day's skiing under blue skies, with barely a soul on the slopes. Another advantage is that all the resorts are within easy reach of the capital.
