Insight Into Snowplough Team Operations

January 11th, 2026.

Road and car park clearing after January snow storms.

The Cairngorm Mountain operations team have had a busy start to the month with considerable snow fall and a lengthy period of cold temperatures hitting Scotland at the beginning of the year.
